About Us

Fincham History Society

Fincham Local History Society was formed in July 2006 and later that year we applied for lottery funding for a project called ‘Fincham Local History Archives’. The project was to take place from March 2007 to March 2008, the aim being ‘the collection and collation of photos, documents and oral history’. We received lottery funding and now have over one thousand photos, as well as maps, documents and oral history. This website is a way of sharing this collected material.

We would like to thank all those people who have so very generously shared their family photographs with us . Thanks also to Ken Blyth, a descendant of the Rev William Blyth, who shared material with us, giving a unique insight into 19th century Fincham life. If you have given us photos but do not want them on the website please let us know.
