Chevin Through Time

Thanks to many volunteers we have started to research the history of The Chevin and develop this website to share the many stories that the land holds close to its wooded slopes.

By October 2011 the pages below will be added to this part of the website. If more volunteers are involved this will be done more quickly, so if you have an interest in the history of The Chevin and some spare time please contact 01943 465023 for a chat about how you can get involved.
