About Us

The Thorpe Thewles History Group

We are a small self supporting group based in the village of Thorpe Thewles, located in the parish of Grindon to the north of Stockton-on-Tees. We formed in 2005 with the aim of learning more about the history and archaeology of our local area. We have conducted research into various aspects of our parish’s history and have recently produced our first publication (A History of Thorpe Thewles of Grindon Parish). This was made possible thanks to a financial grant from the Local Heritage Initiative Scheme.

The group meets on a monthly basis. If you would like to attend one of our meetings we would be pleased to see you on the first Friday of each month in Thorpe Thewles Village Hall. Meetings commence at 7:00 PM.
