A Record of our Time: A Social History Project during COVID 19. The Heritage Team came up with the idea of trying to create a record of these times, and if possible, build an archive, similar to the material we have been able to put together for our recent commemorations of the two world wars. As you can see from the attached article below, we are inviting contributions from as wide a range of people as possible, from both the church and, we hope, the wider community. We could publish material in various forms on our website, but also save everything we receive for future use. If you are interested in helping to create a new social history record, read the introductory document and update documents below.
