A message from chairman heather
As many know the history of Hooe was researched and recorded by John James Newport and published in the book “Records of Hooe”. Little of the late 19th and 20th century IS recorded, so We Felt that now was the time to make a start before it was too late. we hope to collect photographs, of people and events which have taken place in Hooe, and welcome for our archives Newspaper cuttings of events that have taken place in the village, along stories of Hooe and its inhabitants. If you have anything that you feel would be interesting about Hooe please share it with us, AS I am sure we are only beginning to scratch the surface!
OUR NEXT MEETING
Is at the beautiful St. Oswald's Church Hooe on Thursday 20th November 2025.
David Alderton, a retired university lecturer in geology, has research into the history of the local gypsum mines. was a natural project for me.
The discovery of large deposits of gypsum in the Mountfield area more than 150 years ago led to a long and continuous period of mining and processing; yet the secluded location means that few people will be familiar with the operations. This talk will illustrate the background to the deposit’s discovery and outline the history of the mining through its various phases, from the late 1800s up to the present time.
