Village launches history group

PEOPLE living in Alfriston are starting their own history group next month.

The inaugural meeting of the Alfriston and Cuckmere Valley Historical Society takes place at 8pm on April 3 at the War Memorial Hall.

One aim is to put on record the priceless memories of the village's older residents.

Co-founder Hazel Dalgleish said: 'We are aware people living here will have vivid recollections of life in the earlier part of the last century and leading up the war years.

'This is living history; it is vital this information is kept for the community to treasure and we are looking forward to hearing their stories.'

She said membership is already healthy and the first meeting looks set to be a great success.

Anyone who is interested is welcome to attend.
