PEOPLE will be able to delve into Bicester’s history at the touch of a button later this month.
Bicester Local History Society is launching a new website thanks to a town council grant of £750.
The site will enable residents to explore the history and heritage of the town and surrounding area.
Pete Chivers, of the society, said: “The local history of the town and the surrounding villages is provided at a number of levels on the website, ranging from an illustrated timeline for younger visitors to explore the past, to more advanced research opportunities for those studying at a deeper level.”
The official launch will be held at Bicester Library on Thursday, July 16, between 5pm and 8pm, when the town's mayor James Porter will press the button to activate the site.
