History Group

Welcome to the Hartington History group page

Background

The History Group evolved out of a village exhibition held in 2008, ‘Hartington Through the Ages’, which generated considerable community interest and unearthed a wealth of artefacts, photographs, documents and memorabilia.

The group has it’s own dedicated website which can be found here:
