Welcome to the Shrivenham Heritage Society

Welcome to the home of Shrivenham's history.
Our collection houses all sorts of documents, maps, artefacts and photographs. It is a growing collection and is now available online as well as to visitors to our centre in Shrivenham.

Our catalogue collection is growing

It's a huge task to digitally archive the contents of our collection. If you can spare some time and become a volunteer please get in touch!
