Corby Glen Local History Society welcomes members (annual subscription Ł6.00) and visitors (Ł2.00 per meeting) and provides light refreshments.

The Society exists to encourage an interest in history and heritage, particularly pertaining to the locality of Corby Glen, South Kesteven, Lincolnshire and the East Midlands. As well as inviting speakers on a variety of topics throughout the year, the Society organises occasional site visits, field walks, etc.; and liaises with local schools, other local history, archaeology and heritage groups, and County resource and information centres. It also encourages and promotes research projects undertaken by Members and has assembled a small library and archive which is held locally, separate from more important documents which have been sent to the Lincolnshire County Archives. The Society has published a collection of local memoirs, anecdotes and photographs entitled
"Corby Glen - A Changing Rural Scene" and hopes this year to create its own web page on the Corby Glen internet site - http://www.corbyglen.com. (Please note this programme may change due to circumstances unforeseen at the time of printing)
