Bremhill History Book Published

After a three-year community history project run by the Bremhill Parish History Group (BPHG) and supported by Wiltshire VCH, a new history book on Bremhill parish was launched on December 11. The lavishly illustrated book incorporates the research, writing and oral testimonies of dozens of contributors alongside VCH contributing editor Louise Ryland-Epton, who compiled the book. It was edited by VCH consultant editor John Chandler and former Penguin editor Eleo Carson and designed and produced by John Harris from the BPHG.  The launch was accompanied by a parish-based history festival followed by a children's festival the next day.

Many thanks to the Bremhill community, BPHG, WSHC, Wiltshire Museum and all partners who made the project possible. Further details on the project, which also incorporated a heritage trail and app, talks, workshops, and articles, are available on the project website www.bremhillparishhistory.com. An education resources pack for schools developed in collaboration with Wiltshire Museum will be available shortly.
