About us

Picture
The Sampford Peverell Society is the local history group for the Parish, taking a broad view of what constitutes 'history'. Our interests cover the archaeology, buildings, social history, family histories and natural history of our rural Mid-Devon parish. 


We always have several projects in progress, ranging from archaeological fieldwork, to producing publications, transcribing documents, nature conservation and putting on historically-themed events (see 'Projects' for further information).  Our members, who number in excess of 70, are encouraged to get involved with whatever projects capture their interest.

We generally hold four meetings a year at which we have a guest speaker, and updates are given on the progress with project work. They are also social occasions! In additions, outings are arranged to places of interest, often being those only open to group visits. 

If you're interested in becoming a member, please contact us
