THE Bishop’s Waltham House History Project is underway. The brainchild of the Bishop’s Waltham Society and the BW Museum, the project aims to provide information and background about the town via research into various local buildings and the people who occupied them throughout the centuries. Previously launched 11 years ago, the project is back up and running thanks to a £500 grant from the Hampshire Archive Trust. Anyone interested in taking part should contact projects@bishopswalthamsociety.org.uk, briefly outlining their area of interest. The society is especially interested in hearing from home-owners who took part the first time round.
