The History of Benhall & Sternfield

The History Group was formed in 2010 by several village residents passionate about local history. There is a physical Community Archive based in Benhall Green from which a Digital Archive is being created. 

The group is keen to invite the help of people who have information about the villages and their inhabitants as well as to share the information gathered over the years. As a result, we have been making digital copies of postcards, photographs, transparencies, movies and oral recordings.

If you have any images, documents or videos relating to Benhall & Sternfield then we would be very interested in hearing from you. These can be loaned for scanning or donated. In addition, we are keen to collect your stories and memories of living in our villages.
