The Victoria County History (VCH) was founded in 1899 as a national project to write the history of every parish in England.  It was dedicated to Queen Victoria.

In Somerset 11 volumes have been published and this huge research project is on-going.  The first two volumes provide general information about the county and were written in the early 20th century.  More recent volumes relate to individual parishes and include maps and illustrations.

We raise funds from events, grants and public donations. Please contact us for details about how to make a donation.
