Hanmer Community Heritage
Fragile Memories of Hanmer and District
The people of St Chad's Church Hanmer are actively supporting the Hanmer and District Community Heritage Group formed in November 2008. As members at a church which has seen worship through many centuries we value our heritage.
Our church building has been the centre of a worshipping community through great national events which affected this village. The building itself was damaged in the Wars of the Roses and the Civil War, and then by accidental fire in Victorian times. Wars have troubled this community and left their legacy.
Our building contains in itself a record of change. Our written records extend over centuries. In more recent times we value the records of our community since photography was invented. We welcome the proposals to record audio memories of more recent times and discover, present and store records in as modern a form as possible.
