We meet on the first Wednesday of every month in the Church House, Widecombe, and everyone is welcome. We have guest speakers and go on guided walks and visits arranged to suit the interests of the members, usually with a local or Dartmoor flavour.
This site is intended as a reference for members and for all those who cannot attend our meetings but are interested in the history of Widecombe, whether as a visitor to Dartmoor or perhaps with family connections here.
The Group is very active with some fascinating projects on the go and a full programme of events. The projects are always in need of more information, so if you have any snippets of information, photos or other material, however small, please let us know.
Our new 'food for thought' pages tell the story of some of the items we discuss at our monthly meetings based on pictures or thoughts that are brought in by our members, or sent in by correspondents.

Widecombe Digital Archive This is the home of the digital version of Widecombe's community, heritage & cultural assets. The Widecombe Digitising Project is a project of the Widecombe History Group that started in 2011 and is on-going. Periodically, as and when new assets are digitised, they will be added to this site.
This site provides search and display facilities for all the assets that we are able to put online.
It is divided into a number of collections and the Collections Page lists those currently available.
