A Celebration of Village Life:
St Michael and All Angel's Church will be marking the Harvest Festival Celebration as a time to reflect on our village past. The village has a very long history associated with Agriculture and Sporting Activities.

A comprehensive display of Lyneham's history including Tithe Maps, agriculture, bygones, photos, reminiscences, census record facts and answers are available all to view.

During the presentation there will be a chance to see how the village has change, especially since the development of the RAF bas in the late 1930's and reflections by village memoirs.

We are encouraging all villagers to bring along your old photos of the parish, no matter how old or what condition they are in, we would like to share these memories of how the village used to be.

Join us in documenting Lyneham's past, there are so many missing pieces to the gigantic puzzle - a history in the making. Do you have the missing piece?

We have recently received an amazing document copy of the Lyneham Estate Particulars, Plan and Condition of Sale, when the 2,106 acre "extremely valuable" estate was put up for sale by lots on Thursday 5th October 1905 at two o'clock precisely. It is an awesome document of Lyneham's history, available to see.

Can you help capture the history for us all to see.
