Welcome to our history society. The Parish of Copythorne is within the New
Forest boundaries in Hampshire, Great Britain. After having a "Down Memory Lane"
photo exhibition in 2005, so many people asked when our group met, we decided to
start one. We now have evening meetings once a month held in Copythorne Parish
Hall. These have been very popular with about 50 residents attending each time.
We also have a yearly exhibition where we display photographs, maps and stories
of the parish.

Copythorne War Memorial

Our memorial was unveiled on December 5th 1920. To commemorate this we have decorated it as it was in one hundred years ago.


As we could not put up our Avenue of Remembrance in November due to Covis restrictions, we now have it in place until December 11th 2020.
