Sutton Coldfield Local History Research Group

Sutton Coldfield has an interesting history well documented by an extensive collection of primary sources housed in Sutton Coldfield Library. Members of the Research Group have access to this material, and enjoy studying it to find out about aspects of the history of the Royal Town. Completed research is published in our journal, Proceedings of the Sutton Coldfield Local History Research Group.

Members who wish to do research meet any Tuesday (1.30 – 4.00 p.m.) at Sutton Library, coming as often as they wish to pursue their research topic, with help from experienced members of the Group and library staff. All members receive regular newsletters with details of our occasional field meetings and public lectures, and a free copy of our Proceedings whenever it is published.

For further details, see Join Us.
