Hatherleigh History Society was founded in 1981 when the Town was celebrating one thousand years of recorded history. Our purpose is to research the Town’s history and build up a permanent archive of photographs and documents. We hold monthly meetings with visiting speakers talking on a wide range of subjects of both local and wider historical interest.
The Rev Norman Hillier who was vicar of Hatherleigh in 1981 was instrumental in establishing the Society and he remained as Chairman until his retirement in 1986.
The Society meets on the second Monday of the month in ‘Old Schools’ in Hatherleigh’s Old Market Square and details of meetings are advertised here, on our facebook page and in the Parish Pump. Visitors are very welcome to attend our meetings at a cost of £2.
