            History Society

.The Appleton Le Moors Group was formed in 2006 and recently supported by a Grant from The Heritage Lottery Fund.
​

The Group's objective is to create a History Archive readily accessible to all and have regular formal and informal meetings to stimulate interest in the history of the Appleton-le-Moors and its people.
We are willing to look up information for individuals researching their Family History.
​

Community and domestic history are of particular interest, many of the records such as Census Records, Church Registers and School Log Book  and some diarys are searchable.  

​
A large collection of photographs and documents have been assembled covering the whole of the 20th Century and earlier ​

1841 - 1843
