Welcome to our new village website. Those of you have visited us in the past will be wondering why you have not been able to access the site for a few months now and why we have changed our URL.
This has all be due to the fact that we have been severely hacked and have been unable to recover and reinstate our old site. This is particularly galling as there was over 8 year’s work and blogs that have now gone forever.
If you have an outstanding query, particularly from our family history page, please be good enough to repeat it, so that we can continue with the reseach.
Please bear with us, while we rebuild this site; it could take quite a while!
Hello, I am looking for information on my great x2 grandfather Robert Henry Hearn who ran his coal, cake ,corn, seed and manure merchants from Finningham station in the years around 1860. I wondered if any photos existed with any shop signage.
Thank you
Kim,
Our Local History Group have some photos of the, now defunct, Finningham railway station (a victim of Dr Beeching!). I’ll have a look through them and see if your GGGf’s business is visible. Please bear with me for a shot while.
The newsletters for recent months have not been added to the website. Is there a problem?
Clive,
Sorry for the delay in replying. There was a problem but you should be able to access the Newsletters now; right up to the current issue.

Hi
I have two deeds dated 1768 and 1774 relating to The Manor of Finingham Hall, which even spelt with a single n I believe is the same place as yourselves. I am a dealer and they are for sale if anyone locally would be interested.
Regards
Rob
Rob,
I may be able to find someone who would be interested in the documents. Could you send me some more details (preferably a photo) and your price.
Webmaster.
I am currently (November 2019) compiling a history of sport in Finningham and would welcome any anecdotes, information, copies of photos etc for inclusion. Please leave your details with Tony and I’ll get back to you
