Hampsthwaite Village buildings and their histories
In 1999 the Village Society published the first of its planned series of books on village history and a second book in the series will deal with some of the buildings in the village, their histories and uses. To support and extend that work the Village Society has decided to create this archive of all village buildings in which it is hoped to include a picture of each building with a short architectural description. Buildings with a special history will be the subject of additional and further comment.

Gravestone Photographic Resource
The Gravestone Photographic Resource project is an attempt to provide a much needed on-line resource for family historians. When the project first started all the monuments in a burial ground of people born before 1901 were photographed. These images are then used to extract all names and details from each monument. Once all the images have been processed, the information is added to the internet database.Go to the site and search for Hampsthwaite to see the names that appear on the gravestone photographs for St Thomas a Beckett Parish Church
