THE GREAT MONGEHAM SOCIETY

 

The Society was founded in 2000 following the village entry for DATABOX 2000.

Subjects of special interest in the local area are history, flora and fauna, farming and changes to the environment,

archaeology, conservation areas, preservation of all that is worth in the village and maintenance of footpaths.

The Society is not intended to be fund raising and is self financing by subscription.

Membership is open to all villagers past and present, young and old who demonstrate a specific interest in the village.
