The first Parish Council Meeting was held on 5 January 1895.
From then until August 1981 the minutes were handwritten in a set of 4 bound Minute Books. Subsequent minutes have been typed, initially on a typewriter, later using a word processor. From May 2013, the minutes have been published online.
Sherington Parish Council has made its archives available to Sherington Historical Society, and hence a complete set of minutes from January 1895 to October 2015 can now be made available here. The collection includes the Annual Parish Meetings from 1914 to 2014 and the Recreational Field and Amenities Committee Meetings from 1980 to 1997. Transcripts of some of the handwritten minutes are available, but this transcription work is continuing and further updates will be provided when available.
The Parish Council Minutes have been rearranged into two categories:
1. Archive – The first 100 years: January 1895 to March 1995
2. Recent Times – 1995 to 2017
Each category has three elements:
a) Parish Council Meetings (from 1895)
b) Annual Parish Meetings (from 1914)
c) Committee Meetings (Recreational Field Committee)
