The Widecombe Archive - Search and Display
Welcome to the Widecombe History Group Archive Catalogue Search and Display facility, provided with the aim of making the archive available to a wider public. The entries here will expand as we continue to make progress on the digitising and cataloguing of our archive. Please send in any comments via the Contact Us link.
Six collections are currently available: the first collection is the catalogue of the Parish Chest and certain other items (called the Main Parish Archive); the second collection is the catalogue of Indentures: apprenticeship records, examinations, removal orders (originally what we called the Parish Documents); the third collection consists of the Headstones from Widecombe Church; the fourth collection is the Tithe Apportionment Register; the fifth collection is the History Group Archive; and the sixth collection is the combination of the first through fifth collections. Please note that the digitising and cataloguing is an on-going process and there may be occasional gaps and errors, although everything that is online has been carefully checked.
