Aston on Trent Local history Group

Aston on Trent is rich in heritage but until 2004 had no comprehensive record of its history or any organised collection of documents, photos or other archive material. There was a concern that many elderly residents in particular had no facilities to pass on a wealth of interesting stories of times past for future generations.

In September 2004 a small group of interested villagers met to set up a formally constituted Local History Group. The principal aim was (and continues to be) to provide, maintain and develop a comprehensive history of Aston on Trent using a variety of formats, easily accessible to all and involving as many members of the community – young and old – as possible.
