The Hadleigh Society was formed in 1982 by local people to encourage an interest in the history, environment and future of our town.

OUR AIMS ARE:

• To raise public awareness of the rich history and heritage of Hadleigh and its surrounding area.
• To actively support the promotion of high standards in planning, conservation, regeneration and development of features within the Hadleigh district deemed to be of historical or environmental significance.
• To contribute to the preservation and protection of Hadleigh’s historical documents, artefacts and buildings.
  
  

THE HADLEIGH SOCIETY REALISES THESE AIMS BY:

• Arranging meetings, lectures and visits;
• The publication and distribution of regular newsletters and occasional papers and reports
• Liaising with local authorities and planning, heritage and other relevant committees
• Maintaining close links with the town archive
• Active involvement in relevant debates/ activities/ organisations with the potential to protect and enhance Hadleigh’s heritage and environment
• Supporting and disseminating research into aspects of Hadleigh’s history and heritage
• Maintaining links with other historical and heritage societies
