The Abingdon Herald has agreed to give the Friends of Abingdon a monthly 500-word column (as it does for various other groups and individuals). Jackie Smith (the Town Archivist) already has a regular column on historical matters so we have decided that our theme should be “Civic Pride”. We want to highlight what Abingdon has to be proud of, but also to flag up areas needing attention. Our introductory article was published in January and you can read it here.

We will post other articles as they are published, but suggested themes for future articles – or offers to contribute – would be very welcome.
