Millennium Project
The Parish Archive
Is an organisation run by a small group of unpaid volunteer residents and is reliant on charity for funding. (see Constitution).Its function is to
collect and preserve paper-based documents reflecting the life and
times of our parish and its heritage. Access is available
on application, and also more widely through this website. It has proved
extremely popular with those who have moved away from the parish and for genealogical research.

The History Website
Is an integral part of the Archive. It was originally created as part of a Millenium Project ‘Discovering Deddington’ to record the parish in the year 2000. It now consists of over 2000 pages of history from Saxon to modern times and contains digital images of approximately one-third of the archived documents stored in a dehumidified and fire-proof room in The Windmill Community Centre.
Digital copies of the many photographs in the Archive and on this website are saved on its associated website the Gallery.
