A small team of local enthusiasts who give their time because they genuinely care about the history of the Rame Peninsula.
The Rame Peninsula History Group is managed entirely by volunteers who give their time because they genuinely care about preserving the extraordinary history of this corner of Cornwall.
The committee keeps the group running — organising talks, maintaining the archive, looking after the website and making sure meetings happen month after month. It is unglamorous work, but it matters enormously.
We are always looking for new committee members and would warmly welcome anyone with an interest in local history, archiving, research, or simply helping a good cause. No specialist knowledge is needed — just enthusiasm.
The group was established in January 2003 with a single founding mission: to research, record and promote interest in the heritage of the Rame Peninsula. More than twenty years later, that mission remains unchanged.
