What's New?

The site was launched in July 2003 as a result of the formation of the village's Local History Group in August 2002. As of May 2011, new material will be displayed on this site first rather than printed for sale locally.

Recent changes to the site are itemised below.

If you know nothing about the village of Bishop Wilton get your bearings by checking the Lie of the Land and then have a look at the postcard images.
