INTRODUCTION | FRAGMENTS | A CENTURY IN PICTURES | CALENDAR / LINKS | SOCIETY VISITS | REMEMBERED AT LAST

The Society was formed in 1998 by a group of enthusiasts determined to research, record and later publish the history of the village.

The first major project undertaken by the Society was to commission a professional production company to create a 45 minute film covering the past 1200 years of Wrotham’s history.

Over 500 copies of the video and DVD have been sold throughout the U.K. and around the world.

FRAGMENTS - A series of booklets looking at various aspects of life in Wrotham past and present have been published as part of recording the unique village history. WROTHAM IN PICTURES provides a unique collection of photographs of the village from days gone by.

All editions still available and further booklets are planned.

“Prepared for the Wrotham Historical Society to mark the Millennium, this fascinating video, relating the history of Wrotham from the earliest written record in 788 AD to the present day, is now available on DVD.

   As the story unfolds the villagers too are not forgotten - from church records to the village school in the nineteenth century, and the many shops that lined the High Street come to life once more in a remarkable story of Wrotham village covering over 1200 years.
