Supporting and fostering an interest in local history, heritage and natural history in Howick and the surrounding area
About the Group
The Heritage Group was started in 2012 with the aim of making Howick’s stories more widely known, by publishing books, mounting exhibitions, running events and giving talks. Through art, modelling, embroidery, music, magazine articles, flower arranging, card making and drama we have engaged the local population in celebrating the heritage of Howick and the surrounding district.
What We Do
A committee of 10 people meet formally three times a year at Garden Cottage, Howick, and throughout the year we are constantly in touch, organising our activities and promoting sales. Profits from our books and cards are spent in promoting our enterprises and improving the places where our work is displayed,
notably Howick Church.
Local donations
We have made donations from the sale of our books and cards to Howick Church, Howick Film Club, Howick Village Hall, Boulmer Memorial Hall, the Red Squirrel Campaign, Lesbury Shepherds’ Hut, Longhoughton Church, Longhoughton Community Centre and Craster Memorial Hall.
