The Marcham Society
The Marcham Society was founded in 1994 to foster community interest in the
history, natural history and environment of the village and the local area. We
arrange eight evening meetings each year with talks by guest speakers or
members. There are monthly walks and group visits to local places of interest.
Projects underway include local history, building recording, coppicing and
surveys of the churchyard, hedgerows, birds, and butterflies.
The ammonite,
Perisphinctus pickeringius, symbol of the Marcham Society, is a local
geological reference. The original named specimen was found in Marcham. Local
Corallian limestone contains many such fossils.
