Clipstone Community History Project

An oral history project about Clipstone Village, funded by the National Heritage Lottery Fund. The project ran from Feb 2023 to August 2024 and was managed by Rachel Staley, along with five volunteers who helped to interview - Elaine Evans, David Booth, Louise Anderson, Nancy Wright and Jennifer Derrick. Almost 40 hours of oral histories were collected and all have been archived at EMOHA (The East Midlands Oral History Archive) at Leicester University where they will be kept for 100 years. The collection remains open so if you know someone with a good Clipstone story, do get in touch!
The project culminated in a month long exhibition at Clipstone Welfare and will be printed so it move around the community.
Thank you to everyone who contributed and especially to Rebecca Spademan at Clipstone Welfare for so much support.
