Hungerford, Berkshire doesn’t have a museum in a building so the Hungerford Historical Society created the next best thing and for those of us with Hungerford ancestors, but live some distance away it is a very good thing indeed.

The society runs the Hungerford Virtual Museum and have made available a huge number of resources, indexes, lists and links. The scope of the site runs from Muster Rolls 1522, Quit Rents 1676 – 1836 to Family Histories & a Names Index.

This site is 5 star and is an example of what can be done by a local group with a passion for history. Well done Hungerford Historical Society!
