The society has a collection of deeds, documents, books, photographs, maps, and other records relating to Colyton's history.
Additions to this collection are most welcome; items can be left for copying with Colin Haynes at Haynes Hardware, Market Place, Colyton (please record your name and address clearly before handing in your material for copying).
Colyton in the War: In 2005, the History Society put on an exhibition to mark the 60th anniversary of the end of the war. A series of filmed interviews took place with locals remembering their experiences. The society felt that this material deserved a proper record as a book and a CD for the benefit of present and future generations. Please click the Literature button on the menu.
THE LOCAL HISTORY CENTRE -- Family History:
The society had a research facility for family history,
but since the loss of our History Centre building this work is scaled down.
However, the society will continue to provide limited help for anyone
wishing to research family history or any other aspect of Colyton's past.
