The History Group are seeking your help for their World War I Project. They are seeking information on the numerous local people who went to fight in the War but have not been remembered. They are listed here. If you have any information on these or any others, however small, or any other WWI story, please visit the page and get in touch.

We are remembering those from Widecombe that fell during World War One by recording details of their life and war record. Full details are available here. The first to be completed is George Nosworthy. We have now also completed William Bolitho and John Radcliffe. You can also view the Widecombe Roll of Honour, which lists those from the local area who served in World War One. This list is being developed as a part of the local Devon Remembers WWI project.

We now have a Community News Page, where items of a local community interest are posted.

Visit the Widecombe Digital Archive with its already substantial quantity of online assets: Indentures, Churchyard Headstones, Tithe Apportionments and Parish Chest contents including Overseers' Accounts and Churchwardens' Accounts. This completes the first phase apart from some transcription work currently underway. Phase two (the History Group Archive and other material donated or loaned to the Group) is in progress.
