Here we try to look at the whole sweep of Marden’s history, from earliest times to the present day, and where possible showing how the village fitted into the wider picture of the times.
Every four months, a new display exhibition is mounted in the Heritage Centre at Marden Library. The exhibitions include photos, artefacts and text about a specific topic.
CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS
In the spirit of remembrance, the November 2023 exhibition in the Heritage Centre will feature Marden at War and if you would like to share any family reminiscences or physical objects, especially from the more recent conflicts since 1945, the History Group would be delighted to hear from you.
