ℹ️ ABOUT US
Puttenham and Wanborough History Society was formed in 1967 by a group of local people. At their first meeting, on 7th July 1967, Jock Vevers proposed that the objectives of the Society should be: “to promote and encourage the study, the preservation and the recording of the past and present history of the parishes of Puttenham and Wanborough".
The Society grew, with meetings and exhibitions being held, as today, in 🧭 Marwick Hall, School Lane, GU3 1AS. Later outings were arranged. Residents of the two villages also began a collection of documents, photographs and pictures, which quickly grew, and were stored for several years in the village school before moving to their current location, The Muniment Room.
