Recording Boldre parish
fund grant £9,400
total project cost £25,494 (37% of total)
The Recording Boldre project, which took place during 2006 - 2008, involved the community in an exploration of the recent history of the parish with the aim of increasing understanding among residents and improving social cohesion.
Three exhibitions were held showing photographs, documents, maps and anecdotes of local history. Interest increased with each exhibition and further material was contributed to the project. The exhibitions attracted in excess of 1,500 people and the project involved around 30 volunteers and community groups.
As a result of the project the Boldre Parish Historical Society has been formed.
