The council keeps archives of documents relating to
the local area. These may include parish registers,
maps and plans, council minutes and other historic
documents providing an insight into the history of
the area. Visitors are usually able to make enquiries
of the archives in person (online or by visiting the
archive office) or using a research service provided
by the council for which a charge is normally made.
