Our Heritage Bank has been chosen by the Hampshire Records Office as an example of an innovative local history project and we are now showcased as part of an exciting new “Accessing Hampshire's Heritage” project – a project aimed at encouraging more people to research their local history.  We feel that this is a great honour for our Heritage Bank work.

 

The Buriton Heritage Bank achieved a major milestone in autumn 2003 with the publication of

NINE NEW PUBLICATIONS ABOUT THE PARISH.

All the booklets are crammed with fascinating information and lots of pictures - including hundreds of old photographs collected during the course of the project.
