| It sounds like an expensive operation for such a small village! |
The village maybe small by some standards but it has a rich history that deserves to be told.
Of course, without the Viscountess Barrington Trust's agreement for the location, none of this would be possible. For a long time, the Shrivenham and District Archive Group had been hunting suitable accommodation for the archives and nowhere in the village is more emotionally central than The Memorial Hall.
To make the location secure and a pleasant environment, however, takes more than goodwill and the village will always be greatly indebted to the local societies and institutions which have, thus far, helped us to raise the funds to progress our ambitions.
We would therefore like to put on record our thanks for the generosity of:
The Shrivenham Village Fete Committee,
Shrivenham Parish Council,
The News,
Shrivenham and District Archive Group,
The Shrivenham Local History Society, and
The Shrivenham Institute Charity.
