This page aims to briefly explain the work of the Heritage Group and to provide a summary of the information it holds
As is explained in the Neighbourhood Plan, Saham Toney has a long and distinguished history dating from before the Iron Age.  The heritage group collects, collates and holds records of that history in a wide variety of original and copied documents, pictures, maps and electronic discs and files. 
​   
Over the years, village history has been researched and documented by a number of archivists including:
  • Mr H N Wells-Cole: Parish Council Chair for many years: particularly documented Historic documents and maps
  • Bertie Amys: Long-serving Parish Clerk who collected many historic documents and correspondence from pre-war times.
  • Robin Brown: Author of a history: “Shadows on the Summer Grass.” A detailed document covering multiple historical topics pre-historical times.  Author of “Saham Toney Index of Names,” a comprehensive list of virtually every citizen of Saham from late Mediaeval Times to mid-20th Century documented at detail level.  He also wrote many articles for the village magazine.
  • John Williams: Multiple articles published
  • Currently (April 2022), Brian Mitchell: Assembled historic documents from multiple sources, initiated a formal indexed collection and wrote a History of Saham in the Wayland Partnership series “Capturing Our Wayland Heritage”. Co-wrote “How Saham Toney Has Been Shaped Through History”. (LINK)
The heritage library is used as a reference to prepare a monthly Saga Magazine article and to respond to specific enquiries from villagers or others who may be interested.  The information is held in both physical and electronic form.  Over the last twenty or so years it has been the source of information for a number of public events. 
The Group’s Future Plans
The Heritage Group and the Parish Council plan to make the group’s information more widely available and at the time of writing (April 2022) discussions are in hand to:
  • Identify and equip a location where the records may be kept available for public access;
  • Establish a process whereby records can be collected, assembled, displayed and used as a source for publication
