The Heritage Society was founded on 14 January 1966 and therefore we celebrated our 58th birthday last month. Although much has changed about the village since 1966 the Society was founded as a local Amenity Society for the protection and enhancement of the beauty and amenities of Hartley Wintney and its surrounding countryside and to encourage interest in the history, flora and fauna of the area. We are very pleased that the values that have been in place over the years still exist and help to make Hartley Wintney the great place to live that it is.
We hope, like us, that you have been delighted to see the refurbishment of the Hattens and Dilly Lane ponds which have over the last month been restored to their former glory and we would like to thank the Parish Council for their hard work and perseverance in achieving this and taking over the maintenance of the ponds in the future.
Looking forward, the Victoria Hall has been booked for Wednesday, May 8th for our AGM and Spring meeting and more details will be issued in due course.
If you care about the village you live in and would like to know more about its rich history and heritage, please join the Society to show your support.
