Hankerton History Group

The Hankerton History Group, meets on a bi-monthly basis to explore and investigate the history of the village through the stories and investigations of present and past residents of the village. The group travels to the local records office to trace families and businesses from the past to discover the development of village to what we see it today

The group is always on the outlook for past residents of the village to expand their knowledge of Hankerton and you can make contact with them via the email address

It is amazing what you can learn when you start to dig and explore the history of your village. So far we have uncovered thet fact that there has been a religious settlement on the site long before the church was built back in the 14th century. We have discovered the site of an old windmill within the bounds of the village - hence the original names for one of the roads, Windmill Hill Road, which does not exist today.

Upcoming events:
March 25th to May 31st, the Athalstan Museum, Town Hall in Malmsbury will be hosting an exhibition by the village of Hankerton that traces the history of the village from Paleolithic times to present
