Axminster Historical Society (AHS) was founded in 1989 to act as a focus for the study and exploration of local history. It organises talks on a variety of historical subjects of relevance to the local area for its members and guests. These are held in The Bradshaw Meeting Room at The Axminster Heritage Centre.
Although AHS operates independently from Axminster Heritage, the two organisations are closely associated. They share a common goal of researching aspects of local history, particularly those relating to Axminster and the surrounding areas. They also both aim to promote and encourage the widest understanding of, and enthusiasm for, the local heritage.

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.

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.

Welcome to the Dawlish Local History Group website. We are a well-established group of Dawlish residents who share an interest in all aspects of local history. This site is one of the best places for information on the history of Dawlish – please explore it.
We offer opportunities to discover and reflect on what life was like for residents and visitors to the local area in times past. This can be interesting and intriguing, and knowledge of the history of a place can provide a better understanding of the way it is now.
