Welcome to the history of Atherstone website, a project to bring together in one place as much information about the history of Atherstone and the surrounding area as possible. The town of Atherstone has a long, vibrant, varied and in many ways, an arguably historically important past. Our aim is to record this past for prosperity whilst bringing it to light to a contemporary audience.

Please note, every article on this website is a work in progress, we are constantly seeking to update and improve the information here. Please check back regularly as we have plenty of new articles lined up for the fututre. Additions, corrections, obmissions, personal memories, are all welcome (no matter how large or small), in fact we positively encourage it! Just look for the form at the bottom of every page and fill it in.
