Abingdon Buildings and People is the name of the History Section of the Abingdon Town Council website. It was created and is managed by a group of AAAHS members for the Council and involves original research and writing, mostly by the group but also by outside specialists. Since its start in 2013 it has expanded into a comprehensive resource for anyone interested in Abingdon’s heritage and history. These pages present the history of the town through short articles on individual buildings and important figures from Abingdon’s past. In 2021 it reached over 200 articles.\u00a0Find it on\u00a0http:\/\/www.abingdon.gov.uk\/partners\/history<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
