Waldringfield History Group
Waldringfield History Group’s aim  is to bring together all we know of the village and its people in the past. 

The history of the village includes an entry on  Waldringfield in the Domesday Book and a set of  Rivershall and Hilton Manorial Court Rolls at Suffolk Record Office from which we have translated extracts. There is also a  collection of maps and a few archaeological surveys of some interesting village buildings. We have also started an  oral and video History Collection and also have acquired an extensive collection of photographs, many of which appear in the book.

We aim to gather information on all  Aspects of Village Life in the past for our own interest but will also try to make a record for posterity of what’s happened in the village.  Much of our material appears in the book.  

Please feel free to send us any information, documents or photos that can add to the collection.

Most years our group has presented a talk to the villagers.  Waldringfield  Post War Years, at Leisure, at Work, at War, Early Years and  A Walk Around. For 2014/2015 we looked at our large collection of Wills and other legal documents (look under Documents) and presented our findings. In 2017 we presented The “I Spy” talk.
