Forthcoming Events updated 1st March

Welcome to the RH7 History Group.

The Group provides a forum for those living within and around the RH7 postal district to pursue their interests in local and family history.   The postal district covers the south east Surrey communities of Lingfield, Dormansland, Blindley Heath, Newchapel and Crowhurst.

The Group was founded in 1999 by the late Peter Gray, an eminent local historian and an acknowledged expert in historic buildings.   It now has some seventy members.   The Group's meetings and exhibitions are held in the Lingfield Community Centre.   Group members also provide stewards for the Hayward Memorial Local History Centre within Lingfield Library.

This website is designed to provide information about the activities of the Group - its meetings, speakers and exhibitions, and as a database to publish the results of research undertaken by members.   It also provides the means for you to get answers to the questions you may have about the history of the area.   You can do this by getting in touch with the Webmaster.   If there is anything you think should be added to the website again go to the Webmaster.

Intrigued by our logo? Well it's a stylised representation of the St Peter's Cross on the western boundary of the Billeshurst Manor, which can be seen today next to the village duck pond with the old lock-up, the Cage, attached.
