Welcome to Jill Rolfe's Oral History of Danehill Parish

Jill Rolfe has interviewed many long-standing village residents and built up a large amount of evidence about life in the village in the twentieth century and the changes that people lived through. She has published many articles in the Danehill Parish Magazine, which have been enjoyed and praised by readers. Jill has kindly allowed us to publish her most recent articles on this website. She has also sent us other information which is not yet published elsewhere. Click on the titles below to enter this rich and growing history. Each article opens in a new window .
