Description:

Bridgwater Heritage was founded by Dr Peter Cattermole in October 2012. It was re-founded in March 2016 as an informal research group and online platform for publishing materials and research on the history of Bridgwater and the surrounding villages. We welcome submissions on all aspects of the history of the area, be they primary sources, short articles, or extended research projects. If you are interested in being involved, submitting material, have any questions or are seeking help with research, then please get in contact. About Us, Notes for Contributors & Digitising TextsIf you enjoy this site and want to know more, perhaps the most valuable external resource on Bridgwater's history can be found in the Victoria County History for Somerset. The VCH site has a series of pages relating to mostly buildings in the county, so as well as the main VCH pages on Bridgwater's history, there may also be found one about the Duke of Chandos' building developments in the town. Also visit the Somerset Historic Environment Record for an interative database of the county's historic landscape.Also consult the online cataloge for the Somerset Heritage Centre.Local authorities offer access to online research facilities via a library users' membership card. Some can be accessed from home, others in a library. Somerset users can access from home the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, for example.
