It is with great sadness that the Trustees report the death of their Chairman, David Stanbridge, on 10 March 2005. He was the co-founder of the study group which later became the Trust and his deep knowledge of the Village and wise counsel will be sadly missed
The Stevington History Group was formed over twenty years ago to research the history of the Village. In September 1999 it established the Stevington Historical Trust.
The object of the Trust is to advance the education of the public in the history of Stevington (Bedfordshire).
