Local History Group

Are you interested in finding out more about our local history or sharing your knowledge with like minded people?

Following the success, in 2017 of the ‘Our Village: Shenstone in the early 20th century’ exhibition and evening talk, we launched the  Local History Group.

The attendance at these events is guaranteed to be good and numbers rarely drop below 20. The group now meet on the first Wednesday in the month arriving at 12.30 for delicious coffee served by our resident barista, for a 1.00pm start.

Shenstone Heritage Trails

We’re delighted to announce that after months of hard work the Shenstone Heritage Trails are now available.

The Shenstone Heritage Trails are the brainchild of a small group of committed local historians who came together to share their fascination with village history. What better way to do this than to give people an opportunity to immerse themselves in that history by following a heritage trail in which there are many stories to be told, buildings to see and the past to imagine.

The trails are available in the library, or you can download them from this website.
