- Group Members’ Visit to
Saint Cuthbert’s Church, Marton
Our History Group’s trip to Saint Cuthbert’s Church in Marton was organised for Wednesday 25th June 2025 for a guided tour by members of the church and volunteers..
The graves of partners Henry William Ferdinand Bolckow and John Vaughan (the founders of modern Middlesbrough) are found in the graveyard.
Inside the Church we saw the baptismal record of Captain James Cook circumnavigator and several stained-glass windows including one commemorating him. Small carved mice were also spotted on the woodwork.

Normanby Local History Group’s Annual Exhibition
- Saturday 12th July 2025 from 10am to 1pm
Our latest exhibition took place on a very warm and sunny day on Saturday 12th July 2025 at our local Normanby Methodist Church.
The exhibition did not have a theme but we were pleased to welcome new exhibitors as well as members who regularly show work and those who periodically share.
Exhibits included:
There was also a table of group research articles that people could take to read while enjoying their refreshments. Group members were on hand to answer any queries associated with displays and also some general questions. Visitors shared information too.
David Jowsey was a guest artist featuring local art which was available to purchase.
Setting up the exhibition on Friday night and dismantling and cleaning up afterwards takes time and effort. There was a good turnout of helpers. Much work goes on behind the scenes prior to this. Many thanks to all the volunteers. This year we were the dream team – everything going without a hitch!
We welcomed some new visitor faces and new volunteers. Old friends caught up and new contacts were made.
Many commented on the day and afterwards on having an enjoyable time.
All in all, a very successful day again!
All visitors were made very welcome !
ENTRANCE WAS FREE !
All exhibition costs (such as accommodation hire & insurance) were covered by our Group.
