Local Photographic Archives can be accessed in the Heritage Room, which is manned by members of the Archive Group, on Tuesdays 1.30pm - 3.30pm and on Sundays 11.00am -1.00pm.

A changing series of wall mounted displays illustrate local events and the people that have formed a part of Galleywood's rich heritage. The Current display is A Virtual Tour of St Michael's Churchyard.  Not-with-standing the archives may be viewed at other times by prior arrangement - Telephone 01245 357700. 

We also stage, by prior arrangement, 'Walk & Talk' events for small groups, with an Audio/Visual presentation by members of the Archive Group, followed by a guided 'amble' visiting sites of historical and biodiversity interest on Galleywood Common and its environs, culminating in tea/coffee and a selection of home-made cakes from the Tea Room, when open.
