The Bedhampton Historical Collection 

The Bedhampton Historical Collection

The Bedhampton Historical Collection (BHC) has evolved from its beginnings in 2007 donations by the late Cynthia Hoy, a founder Trustee of the Bedhampton Manor Trust. Since then, it has grown to an impressive collection through the generosity of people with an interest or connection with the local area.

The collection is managed and catalogued by a small team of volunteers.

Where we are

The collection is housed in a room within The Elms, the Grade 2* listed building in the old village of Bedhampton.

What we hold

The collection has grown to include documents, books, photographs, maps, paintings and more, relating to the people and local area.

What we provide

We provide information for people researching local families, buildings, and much more. We also welcome people who have an interest in the local area.

The collection is used as a source of information for talks.

We are involved in the annual National Heritage Open Days, which involves exhibitions and talks.

We have links with other historical groups in the area.

When we do it

The volunteers meet on a Wednesday morning 10am to 12 noon, when people are welcome to arrange a time to visit as we have limited space. Enquiries are invited via email or phone the Manor Trust Manager.
