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.

YOUR PARISH NEEDS YOU!


In 2014 our open day will be dedicated to all the local men and women who joined the services during the two world wars. We need photographs - in uniform if possible - and stories. We are also writing a book using all the names from the war memorial outside Copythorne Church. Do you have any family photos that we can copy? Please get in touch with us by using our email.
