The History group will be embarking on a project to research the history of Bartonsham Meadows, working with records office and local historian, and exploring some of the early maps we have found. We will be setting up a dedicated webpage on this site for this subject.
In the meantime we have also set up a new section on our Stories tab, and would like to invite you to add your own stories and memories of the meadows; a place experienced and enjoyed for many years by locals of this area.
Even in 1862, some folk were writing poems about the 'Bassom' Meadows. This is from a local newspaper at a time, when there was much debate about footpaths and access.
