GARSTANG HERITAGE SOCIETY

Working to preserve the history and heritage of the former Garstang Rural District

The society is working to promote, share and preserve the local history and heritage of the Garstang district. Our area of interest covers the former Garstang Rural District, including the parishes of Barnacre, Bilsborrow, Bleasdale, Calder Vale, Catterall, Claughton, Forton and Shireshead, Inskip, Great Eccleston, Garstang, Kirkland, Hambleton, Nateby, Nether Wyresdale and Scorton, Out Rawcliffe, St. Michael’s on Wyre, Stalmine with Staynall and Winmarleigh. Our website is used to share aspects of Garstang heritage which otherwise would be lost or not be accessible to the public, and actively record current aspects of Garstang and the former rural district which will be of interest in the future. We will continue to build and add to the website, and we hope to feature a wide range of exclusive articles, historical information, and photographs. Our Facebook page is an ideal forum for sharing old photographs, memories, family tree quests and other local information. To keep up with all the latest news and information visit and ‘like’ our Facebook page. The Heraldic Banner Project is looking to reproduce the original banners and re-hang them in our high street. We were really pleased to be able to display three of the original high street banners at the Garstang show which generated a lot of interest and discussion.
