Administrative history

Strensall Local History Group is an informal group of people interested in learning about the history of Strensall, a village located north east of York. The Group holds regular monthly meetings with speakers on wide-ranging subjects, and in summer there are usually two outings/outside events. It is not known when the Group was founded.

The Group is comprised of several working groups, focusing respectively on Archaeology (including Metal Detecting); Building History, People & Probate; Family History; Oral History; Photographic Archive; Archives and Technical Assistance (providing support for all working groups on-demand.)

The Group produces a newsletter to keep members up-to-date and produces publications on the village and surrounding area.
