Preserving Our Heritage Together
Building a Digital Archive of Cotherstone
Our Heritage Team are creating a comprehensive digital database documenting the rich history of Cotherstone. This ambitious project aims to capture and preserve the stories behind our buildings, the lives of people who've called this place home, and the changing environment that shapes our village character.
Our heritage archive goes beyond simple record-keeping. We're collecting photographs, maps, documents, memories, and stories that bring our village's past to life. From the grand houses to the smallest cottages, from well-known families to everyday residents, from ancient field boundaries to modern developments - every piece of Cotherstone's story matters.
This is a community project in the truest sense. We rely on local knowledge, family photographs, personal memories, and historical documents shared by village residents past and present. Whether you have a single photograph or a trunk full of documents, your contribution helps build a comprehensive picture of how Cotherstone has evolved through time.
