History of the Society
•
We started off in November2002 with a bequest in George Freeston’s will, leaving an amount of money to
perhaps continue his work re our village’s heritage. With the help of his executors, our first meeting was held
then.
•
George did not want the society to be named after him, so eventually it was decided it should be called
“Blisworth Heritage Society”.
