A New Local History Hub for South Wiltshire
We’re delighted to announce the launch of Local History Hub South Wiltshire, the latest addition to our growing UK-wide network. Local History Hub is a teacher-led, grassroots movement that brings together schools, heritage organisations and community partners to make local history meaningful and accessible for children and young people. Each hub is built collaboratively, with the shared aim of enriching curriculum learning, strengthening local identity and fostering a sense of place and belonging.
Exploring South Wiltshire’s Historic Landscape
Local History Hub South Wiltshire will support schools and communities to explore the rich and varied history of the area, from ancient landscapes and prehistoric sites to rural communities and everyday life. The hub will help pupils understand how the past continues to shape the places they live, encouraging curiosity and a deeper connection to their surroundings.
Through curriculum support, collaborative projects and local storytelling, the hub will make it easier for schools and heritage partners to work together and bring South Wiltshire’s history to life in ways that feel relevant and engaging for learners.
Meet the Schools Lead
Local History Hub South Wiltshire is supported by Abigail, a primary school teacher and History Subject Lead with seven years of experience across a range of schools and settings, including working closely with SEND pupils.
Originally from Devon, Abigail now lives in South Wiltshire, close to Stonehenge, which continues to inspire her passion for local history. She is committed to helping children develop curiosity about the past and to making history engaging and accessible for all learners.
Get Involved
We’re now inviting teachers, schools, heritage organisations and community groups across South Wiltshire to get involved as the hub develops.
If you’d like to help shape the hub, contribute to future projects, or simply stay informed as plans progress, please complete our short Expression of Interest form.
Alternatively, you can contact us directly at enquiries@localhistoryhub.org.uk.
Together, we’re helping children and communities across South Wiltshire connect with the stories that shape where they live.
