PRESERVING HARLINGTON'S HISTORY
The Harlington Heritage Trust Charity, founded in 1981, was in operation until March 31st 2025 with the purpose of preserving the rich heritage of this picturesque and beautiful village nestling in the chalklands of South Bedfordshire.
Unfortunately due to falling membership, increasing costs and the failure to attract younger members, it was decided by the Trustees and Committee to wind up the Charity after 44 years of existence.
Arrangements have been made with the Bedfordshire Archives Service and the Bunyan Museum to receive the Harlington Heritage Trust’s collection of Village Archives and other items to ensure they are not lost to Harlington.
The March 2025 Newsletter, No 176, will therefore be the last quarterly edition issued to members.
Despite this, the web site will remain open under the future name of the Harlington History Times with occasional Articles and other Items being added henceforth from this time.
