About the Group
The Tintinhull Local History Group (TLHG) was founded by an enthusiastic team of villagers in 2005. It obtained a £25,000 Heritage Lottery grant which enabled the purchase of IT and other equipment plus specialist advice & services. All of this
contributed to TLHG’s early success.
The Group has a social side but primarily researches different aspects of our parish history. The Group holds evening meetings September through to April with a regular attendance of around 30 members. Meetings include illustrated talks and demonstrations and on special occasions also host historic plays and exhibitions.
