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.

Book One

Book two

Thursday 23 March 2017


Many thanks to all those who helped and attended our exhibition day. Over 280 people came and enjoyed all the photos and articles on display. Our new book sold very well as did several of the previous editions. We still had more photographs that we have not seen before brought in to be copied.
Next year's open day will be on Saturday 3rd March, 2018 and will be dedicated to all those local men who joined up in the wars and were able to return home. If you have any pictures or stories, please get in touch.
