History Open Day
Saturday 23rd May 2026


Since its inception in 1980 The Mayfield Heritage Group has researched and gathered a huge amount of information on the history and heritage of the Parish of Mayfield with much of this being generously donated by members of community over the years. On the afternoon of Saturday, the 23rd of May 2026 The Heritage Group would like to share much of what it has found to everyone at a History Open Day at the Church Rooms in Church Mayfield.
The event starts at 1pm and goes through the afternoon closing around 5.30pm.
The day is designed to be informal where people can come and go as they please to see the exhibits, attend one of the talks, purchase books and plants and buy a nice cup of tea and a piece of cake.

Mayfield History

The Heritage Group has embarked on a new project aimed at researching and documenting Mayfield’s history.
The idea is to create a definitive record of the History of Mayfield dating from the Bronze Age to the 19th Century. A massive undertaking but we hope to uncover some exciting and interesting information along the way.
