Welcome
The Web Team?Welcome to the Fontmell Magna Village Archive's web site. We're continuing to upload content to the site and are really looking forward to developing the whole system over the next few years.
We'd love to hear from you - let us know whether there's anything you'd like to read about our Village and it's history. You can get in touch using the contact page.
The production of this web site wouldn't have been possible without the valued assistance of the Local Heritage Initiative and the web design expertise of Kris Burford.
Many thanks for visiting
