Read a Potted History of
Wargrave Also, we have a Booklet on The "Bird Collection" of Postcards The Society has
acquired the 'Bird Collection' of postcards of the village. This
collection, assembled by lifelong Wargravians, Derek Bird, the Society's
first Chairman, and his mother Ruth, shows many aspects of the village
over the 20th century. As part of the Society Archive, it is now secured
for posterity for the village.
The Harriette Cooke Smith Photo Albums We have also in 2009 acquired three albums of photographs which feature (inter alia) scenes of Wargrave from the 1870s belonging to Harriette Cooke Smith - see some images here. We are always interested in adding to our collection of pictures, documents, books, maps etc relating to Wargrave, so if you have anything that you think may be of interest, please contact us.
