History & Heritage of Latchingdon

Welcome to the History & Heritage of Latchingdon research group, where we explore, preserve and share the fascinating history of our village and the people who have called it home. From the earliest records to the stories, photographs and memories of more recent generations, our aim is to uncover the events, places and people that have shaped Latchingdon over the centuries.

The name Latchingdon was first attested in around 1065, and the village was recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086, placing Latchingdon’s documented history firmly in the landscape of medieval England. But our story does not begin or end with these early records. Through archives, maps, photographs, documents and personal memories, we continue to discover new pieces of the village’s past. Explore the site and join us in discovering the story of Latchingdon.
