The Hanslope and District Historical Society, has been in existence since 1990 and has a membership of approximately 100 with a standing committee of around 10 of its members.

We undertake research into the history of Hanslope and surrounding District and hold open meetings on a variety of historical subjects.

Various publications relating to Hanslope are available either by post (for which a charge is made) or at society meetings.

Temporary exhibitions have been mounted and newly acquired items are displayed at open meetings.

Open meetings are held on the third Thursday every month (except December, April, July and August) at Hanslope Combined School.

The committee has begun the task of, computerising the archive not only to preserve documents but also to assist in research and give access to the wealth of information held
