Marldon Local History Group is dedicated to the promotion and study of the history of the Parish through the collection and preservation of archival material.

Our web site aims to give a comprehensive overview of the material and information so far accumulated by the Group

The About the Group page gives information on its formation and objectives. A  Report is produced monthly for the Parish Magazine and a copy is viewable on-line. The Diary section gives details of forthcoming Group meetings and  Speakers, and is accessible from the Monthly Report page as well as the main menu. The Group would also like to hear from anyone who has any further information, anecdotes or memorabilia about the Parish or its people. We have also added a short history of Marldon, by Tony Chidlow, on  the Village History page.

The Group has recently completed a comprehensive survey of the Upper Churchyard, and this, together with an existing survey carried out some years ago, has enable the Group to produce a fully comprehensive index of the whole Churchyard. The St John Baptist Churchyard is divided into the Lower Churchyard, of mainly older burials and memorials , the more recent Upper Churchyard and the area for Caskets.                   

Our current short slideshows are of the Marldon Church, Compton Village and Castle, present and past Villagers  and  Old Postcards. We hope that the photographs will be refreshed from our Archive from time to time. We also have a new page of photographs, Marldon Now. The photographs, taken by committee member Ray Bond, will hopefully stir memories of our beautiful village.
