I am a seed guardian, making contact this way as I do not live in Kempley. I wish to be kept informed of the wild daff project, as and when things move on, please

The Kempley Tardis is a commendable project that uses to good effect histories of Kempley and Dymock that were published in 2010 in volume XII of The Victoria History of the County of Gloucester (ISBN 978 1 90435 636 3). As far as I can see the Tardis website does not credit the author of those histories for his original research and thereby his contribution to the Tardis project.

I wish our village had one of these! I particularly like the timeline.

Lovely to ba able to explore history of a small parish - often so much more interesting than the large cities

I found the stories and histories very interesting. I think it is a brilliant idea to record the personal accounts of people who lived and worked in the area before they are lost for ever. Congratulations to all involved!

A fascinating project. Should be expanded to all parihes. Many years ago I did somethong similar on paper to show the development of our village by overlaying the 1840s Tithe MAp, The Inclosure map of the 1850s and the 6" to the mile OS maps. Intrigued how you got round the county archive copyright restrictions when showing maps online.

This is such a tremendous project, which will give inspiration - I hope - to many other communities. Brilliantly thought-out and wonderfully executed; an absolute treasure trove.

Chris, loved your comment about the autograph book - I had one of those (but in the 70's I hasten to add!) Lovely site, good luck with it!

Great site which we managed to pick while on holiday in Potugal. Our hosts come from Gloucester so we have suggested they have a look at the site.

By hook or by crook I'll be the first in your book. This is what we wrote in the playground in the 1960s in curious leather bound books called 'autograph books' 50 years on its known as a tweet ...
