| The famous log church at Greensted |
Welcome to the High Country History Group, covering the small parishes of Greensted, Stanford Rivers, Stapleford Tawney and Theydon Mount just west of Ongar in Essex, England. The Group was founded in 1999 by Rob Brooks. The club meets on most fourth Thursdays in the month and this year we have changed our meetings to meet from March to November (except August and September) rather than through the winter months.
For a membership of £7.00, or £10.00 for family members, those on our list receive four journals a year containing items of local and countywide historic and social interest and reduced admission to our regular meetings (£1, instead of £3 for visitors) held at the Toot Hill Village Hall. Each time we meet we have a speaker who talks on the subject of local or general topic of historic interest. Sometimes our members lead the evening. We always end the evening with tea or coffee and biscuits, and at Christmas with a mince pie and glass of wine. We believe one of our strengths is the opportunity for people to get together, enjoy a talk and a good natter afterwards. Do join us. You will be very welcome.
Our blog is an extension of the Group, connecting us to the worldwide web and people who may have had, or have ancestors connected with our local area.
So welcome, and enjoy what we have to offer.
