A pilot study for this project was completed in 2014 involving Bingham Heritage
Trails Association, Bramcote Local History Group and East Bridgford Local
History Group. It is now being taken up more widely within the region.
The idea of this project is to involve local groups in a regional exercise to map
their local parish boundaries and identify features of archaeological and historic
interest. The result will be a unique online resource accessible to anyone with
an interest in historic landscapes and will serve as an important record. The
database will be built up over time and it is hoped that eventually the whole of
the East Midlands will be covered.
A Cloud-based database, topographic map and GIS will be available free to
anyone who wishes to participate. Anyone interested in history or archaeology
can take part — training is available if required.

by listening online to talks from a Parish Boundaries day at Creswell Crags in

Be part of a project to define historic boundaries
Be part of history
Landscapes are important
to people — they form the
background of our everyday
lives as the dynamic
expression of the interaction
between the natural
environment and human
activity over time
(Antrop, 1998)
The history of the British
Isles lies waiting to be
discovered. With your
help, we can save this
knowledge and share it
with everyone
It is brilliant to know that
groups are nurturing the
interests of
archaeologists and
historians of the future
