Everyone is encouraged to refer to this KLHS website for updates on upcoming society events. Another feature of the KLHS website is unique material on the village and its history including photos and videos forming part of the KLHS archives. Recently added is an article by Bigbury/Easton resident Henry Wainwright “The Mystery of The CROSSOWEN – The MARIE CELESTE of Bigbury Bay” exploring the wreck of The CROSSOWEN at Yarmer Sands, Thurlestone on 7th May 1908. This sets the scene for the first KLHS talk arranged for the New Year when Henry Wainwright will speak on “Shipwrecks Around Bigbury Bay” in the Reading Room on Thursday 1st February 2024.
An important function of KLHS is to collect and catalogue material relating to the history of the village. If anyone would like to get involved with management of the archives please let us know. Equally we are always delighted receive new documents to be added to the archive.
