  Groups of members have undertaken specific projects, including an in depth study of the history of Turnastone,  published as a book by Logaston Press in 2010. More recently we made an in depth study of the life and work of Rowland Vaughan, a local entrepreneur at the turn of the 17th century, again resulting in a published book.
