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This CD contains references to over 500 otherwise unpublished Widecombe Parish Documents in terms of the persons named on the documents, their occupations, locations mentioned as well as details of the documents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 Basket below, or you can email us at parishdocs @ widecombe-in-the-moor.com, or write to

WE HAVE NOW RESOLVED THE PROBLEMS WITH THE PARISH DOCUMENTS CD ON XP SERVICE PACK 2. IT SHOULD NOW WORK WITH ALL VERSIONS OF XP, ALTHOUGH YOU MAY HAVE TO ENABLE 'ACTIVEX' CONTROLS IN YOUR BROWSER. YOU SHOULD GET A PROMPT FOR THIS WHEN YOU RUN THE SOFTWARE (NOT WHEN YOU INSTALL).
