History Club

The Club is a charitable organisation created to stimulate an interest in and an understanding of the history of North Marston. We try to make history enjoyable and not overly formal which is why we chose to call our organisation a club rather than a society as we feel a club sounds more inclusive.

For centuries North Marston was a major pilgrimage centre, visited twice by Henry VIII.That is why we chose the pilgrim as our logo.

Queen Victoria had an interest in the village too, after a North Marston local land-owner left her a bequest of £250,000 with which she built Balmoral Castle.The history of our village is rich and varied. Revealing the past is like being a history detective using small hidden clues.
