Museum is to present the history of the parish for the education, interest
and entertainment of the people of Winsham, using the Internet as its main
platform. Helpers are needed for involvement in local history projects as
well as the recording of current events for posterity. Galleries contain
hundreds of photographs and other illustrations, and many thousands of
words of text recording the history of many aspects of life in Winsham
over a thousand years. A free genealogical service is available for
visitors to the Web Museum. e-mail:john.sullivan22@btinternet.com
