Shropshire Archaeological and Historical Society
Shropshire, on the border between upland Wales and lowland England, has had a complex and turbulent history.
This fascinating past is reflected in a wealth of archaeological sites of all types and periods and in a rich collection of archives.
The Society was formed in 1877 as the Shropshire Archaeological Society, to promote research and general interest in this rich heritage.
In 1923 it amalgamated with the Shropshire Parish Register Society. Members come from all walks of life but share a common enthusiasm for Shropshire's past. Why not join us?
As elsewhere in Britain too much of our historic legacy is being destroyed without adequate record - by urban development, new roads and agricultural practices.
County archaeological societies can play an important role in fighting for better protection of archaeological and architectural monuments and in recording those sites which must be sacrificed to the needs of the present. The more members the society has, the more effective it can be in helping to preserve the past for the future -why not join us?
