This site has an excellent database of monumental inscriptions from Thornbury Cemetery and St Mary's Church, complete with photographs, and has recently added the monumental inscriptions from the United Reformed Church as well as details of births, marriages and burials from the URC registers up to about 1900.
There's a searchable database of Thornbury Trade directories, with 24 directories included, covering the period 1790 to 1939. There are also various Voter Lists, Coroners Lists, Street Directories and a gallery of old Thornbury adverts from local businesses.
There are in-depth histories of the houses in many of the older streets of Thornbury and of the families who lived in them with an extensive collection of photographs.

Each month, a talk by an invited speaker is held at Poole Court in Yate. There are also occasional visits and trips to sites of archaeological interest. We are actively involved in archaeological investigations locally, from archive research, through geophysics to excavation.
Anybody with an interest in archaeology is invited to come to our talks or help with the fieldwork. All will be made very welcome.
We usually have our talks on the third Wednesday of each month starting at 7.30. The only exceptions are December and July/August.
Members of the public are welcome to attend, and there is usually no need to book but potential visitors are strongly advised to read the relevant month's post for any last-minute changes. You can also contact the group by making a comment on the Facebook page via the link below.
