Papers

Since the society started members have produced reports, briefs and other documents on various topics. Many of these are stored in the socities library. Some of these documents are however being entered back into the computer to save them before they perish beyond repair. This also allows for us to make them available to a wider audience by publishing them on-line.

One of our members, Peter Allen, started what was called an Occasional Paper in 1979. The aim of this was to generate a series of papers exploring Thatcham's history. Other authors joined in and produced a string of occasional papers. The documents that are currently available are listed below:

Title
Colthrop Mill
Hard times in Thatcham in the 19th Century
St Marys Churchyard trail
Thatcham in 1847
Thatcham through the ages
The Coffin in the Belfry
The Family of National Parks
