The mission of the RHS
The Ridware History Society was formed in
1990 by a group of enthusiasts who wished to
explore the history on their doorstep.
We are now a thriving group whose aim is to
raise awareness of our particular history
and to engage the interest of the general
public in preserving their local heritage.
Members pursue their interests through a
year-round programme of events, which is
split into two parts. During late autumn
and winter, a series of talks are delivered,
generally by visiting speakers, on diverse
subjects. During late spring and summer,
the programme consists of six visits to
places of historical interest, within easy
travelling distance of the Ridwares.
Members who have an interest in research
have formed the Ridware Study Group. Individually and
collectively, the members pursue a range of
subjects, which explore many aspects of the
rich history of the Ridwares. This involves
a wide range of topics from genealogy,
education, land enclosure and just about
anything into which any individual wishes to
inquire.
Ridware
History Society is a member of the
Staffordshire Heritage Group.
We are delighted that the
Society has been awarded an
Awards for All
lottery grant of £1500. The grant was
specifically to acquire presentation boards
and a powerpoint projector. These will
enable us to far more effectively present
the results of our research.
