Ewyas Lacy Collections

The individual and collective research of members of the Ewyas Lacy Study Group and other selected local historians is an important part of the material on this website. These collections include our own interpretations and analysis of many facets of local history, and are therefore qualitatively different from the simple referencing and summary of archived source documents to be found elsewhere in the site. Follow the links below to explore the original work of our Group.
