We are putting on a new exhibition to coincide with Armistice Day.
As we remember all those who have been killed in conflict, we especially remember a local lad called Tom Harrison. Tom was killed in 1918 at the age of 21. Tom's family kindly donated Tom's handwritten letters to The Bedworth Society, and they have been transcribed to form the exhibition. It is obvious from Tom's letters he is missing his family, especially his sisters, and the life he led in Bedworth before going into the trenches.
It is an emotional read, but there is also humour and insight into what life was like for Tom.
We now have a Facebook page for The Bedworth Society and Heritage Centre. Find out the latest news and photographs of old Bedworth.
Follow the link from the Facebook icon at the top of the page.
The Bedworth Society has no paid staff - we are all volunteers.
If you would like to join our volunteers, please contact Lynda Burton on 0770 7093335 or email
You may like to help steward in the Heritage Centre or help serve refreshments after the meetings. Perhaps you have IT skills and could help maintain the website.
We would love to hear from you.
