Current Research Projects
For members interested in research we have a small group who meet separately to undertake research projects.In 2025 The Werrington Village Trail was updated and republished to mark the group’s 40th anniversary.
Current ongoing research projects include:
- Werrington Wrongdoers
- PE4 Wills Proved at Peterborough Consistory Court 1820 - 1858
If you are interested in research and want to find out more about getting involved with our current projects or starting one of your own, please email us at werringtonlhg@gmail.com.
Whilst we may be able to answer some questions, we don’t have the resources to answer all of them so you may find the links below useful in your own research enquiries.
