We have now published the first version of the Widecombe Parish Documents Database and associated Browser software on CD.

This CD contains references to over 500 otherwise unpublished Widecombe Parish Documents dated between 1735 and 1857. Details have been recorded of the persons named on the documents, their occupations, locations mentioned as well as details of the documents themselves. There is also a cross-reference to the actual document so that viewing of the original can be arranged if required.

This represents the culmination of several years work by members of the History Group. Our thanks are extended to all those who participated.

For more details of the project that led to this CD being produced, please see here.

Copies of the CD, which contains everything you need to search through the database and display the information stored, cost £15. This figure includes all materials, postage and packing costs and is designed to ensure that the Group benefits by a minimum of £10 per CD.

Remember that the History Group is totally not for profit. All income is ploughed back into the Group to help with future projects.

If you would like a copy of the CD, you can buy on-line by using Add To Cart below, or you can email us at parishdocs @ widecombe-in-the-moor.com, or write to

The price is £15 for a posted CD of the Parish Documents and £13 for the downloaded version.

If you have Windows 7 64-bit edition we suggest you do not buy the CD or download at the moment as there is a problem, instead check back here every so often to see if it is resolved. If you are not sure if you have the 64-bit edition of Windows 7, you can find out by clicking Start then Computer then on the window that opens click on System Properties, then look down the properties page that displays and under System there should be an entry ‘Type’ which says either 32-bit or 64-bit.
