 Our website offers a fascinating insight to Stonehouse village history and for family history research. Whilst not all of our information has been transferred onto the web site the group continues to work towards transferring other information to the site as soon as it has been transcribed into a format that can be used and has funding available.
In our resource room we have copies of our local newsletter, cemetery inscription records, old school admission records, school diaries, scholar autographs,parish and census records, pit deaths, collections of local area photographs and a small collection of school photographs.
 Our Website includes an on-line searchable index of Census information for Stonehouse, OPR and church records, School admission records, Gallery of old pictures, School photographs examples from the collection can be viewed but full unrestricted access for a year requires membership costing eleven pounds sterling. To obtain full access please refer to our subscription page.
