Welcome to “Lacey Green History Wiki”, it is a place to explore Lacey Green of the past: the people, the places and the events that shaped our history. For over 50 years I have enjoyed investigating local history and putting it together like a jigsaw. It is an ever-evolving picture…. Rather than keep it all to myself I wanted to share with others, who I hope will be as curious and intrigued as I h
ave been. In this wiki, local people, places and events are recorded and linked so that it is possible to trace back through their stories. For me it all began in 1971 when I hoped to discover the history of Stocken Farm, my husband’s family home. Dennis Claydon was already working on the local history here. Dennis and I spent many hours in the Local Records Office, sharing our discoveries. In 1970 the village magazine Hallmark was launched providing more general information and in particular research by Miles Marshall and Rita Probert. In 2008 the Local History Group was formed when Dennis Claydon and I declined to write a local book knowing that once printed it could not include any new information that came to light. It was decided to put that information on a website. In this wiki I am putting information from all these sources so that all those people, places and events can be linked to tell their stories, with as many photographs as possible. So, now you are here, to get started scroll down the indexes below and click on a page. Organised by:
Properties
People
“Social Snapshots” in Decades
Roads or Locations
Amenities
Organisations
Once you are on a page, people, places and events tell their own story, and are linked
together where possible
Please have fun and explore! www.LaceyGreenHistory.com
Do you have any edits? Do you have information to add to the wiki? I would value your feedback too.....
