Since its re-launch in 2014, ‘VCH Shropshire’ has been working on both Shrewsbury and Wem with the aim of producing the hallmark VCH ‘red books’ on North Bradford hundred.
The next area of interest is Newport and the Weald Moors. Dr Judith Everard will present findings from her work on Wem and ideas for the project’s future regarding a Newport scoping study, which is the first part of writing the ‘short’ History of Newport .
Help will be needed from local people to start researching and writing the new and definitive History of Newport and it is understood that Newport Town Council have given money to help with the cost of the scoping study.
