The Covington and Keyston History Group is also very interested in Local History. History is not just about archaeology, we just need to look around us to see elements of the past, but they are not always easy to interpret. Most people are interested in what went on in their local area be that recent history or the more ancient information found via a dig. Investigating a particular subject or building can be just as rewarding as picking up a piece of pot

The problem being that investigating a building / person or business, involves a significant amount of research. Either through local knowledge or archive material. And bringing it all together into a single source can be time consuming and extensive.

The most ambitious activity the group has undertaken is the development of the Covington Timeline. This document is basically a large scroll showing the extended history of the village. It is hoped that we can capture it in such a way that we can show it on this web page but that currently seems out of reach.

This does not mean we cannot show other items of research, please note that although we try to be as accurate as possible research is not an exact science and if you spot any enhancements / corrections please let us know via the contact us form on the previous page.
