Ugborough History Group

Ugborough Local History Group was founded by Merryl Docker in the 1990s for the collection of an Ugborough archive of photographs and documents. It has grown steadily ever since with regular monthly meetings of like-minded people enjoying all aspects of local history: from moor to coast, villages, naval and religious facts, fables, myths and mysteries.

Meetings are (normally) free for members and £4 for anyone else. Membership for the current year is just £10. New members are always welcome- just come along.

Monthly meetings are held from September to April each year with the AGM in May and a summer walk or trip in June ending the season. Most meetings are in Ugborough Village Hall on the last Wednesday of the month.

Meetings are generally held at 8pm.
