Campden Characters

A new book from CADHAS – ‘Campden Characters’ was launched on Saturday 7 May 2011. The book is proving to be very popular – ORDER NOW! This is a compilation of stories about local people that tells us much about life 50 – 100 years ago.

Mr Harrison is Missing

But not now – 350 years ago! CADHAS launched a new book about the well-known ‘Campden Wonder’ in August. Visit Campden and pick up a leaflet – and buy the book – then walk the trail of places associated with the story.

Celebrating Jesse Taylor

Following our very successful exhibition in January of photographs by Jesse Taylor CADHAS members have been cataloguing the final batch of images held in Gloucestershire Archives. This led to another Exhibition on 7/8 August in the Town Hall, showing pictures taken by him as he travelled around the Cotswolds.
