| The Society is actively
engaged in a number of projects which increase our understanding
and appreciation of local history.
- A childrens’ guide to St Mary’s Church.
- Production of an annual calendar. (2006, 2007 and 2008 are done
- look out for the 2009 calendar now on sale in KSM or Taylors!)
- Tickhill’s ancient hedgerows
and byways.
- A number of Occasional Papers researching aspects of Tickhill’s
history such as its “Maison
Dieu”, former almshouse known locally as “Mizendew”.
- Tickhill’s War Memorial
– the people behind the names. (The subject of a talk to the Society on 15th
November 2007)
- “Living Memories”,
recorded interviews with older local residents (See some
interviews on this website – more to come)
- “Tickhill Then, Now and for the Future”, an
ambitious project to collect and digitise old photographs
and other information on Tickhill which people can access
and contribute to. This project (and this website!) was
made possible by a grant from the Heritage
Lottery Fund. (See HLF
Project)
