About Our Website
Odiham is proud to have such an important association with Magna Carta 1215 and Simon de Montfort’s Hilary Parliament of 1265. For many this connection to important events in history will come as a surprise.
The aim of our website is to promote our beautiful Parish and its historic heritage. We want to provide you with information about the historical events of 800 years ago and details of Odiham’s Magna Carta celebrations in 2015.
The project is being driven by Magna Carta Committee, supported by The Odiham Society, InOdiham, Odiham Parish Council, Hampshire County Council, MagnaCarta800th and in close partnership with many local associations, our schools, the churches, shops and businesses.
We aim to:
- stimulate economic activity
- provide educational benefits
- enhance and restore heritage
- inform and enthuse
- and leave a sustainable legacy for the future.
Nearly all of the events are being organised and run by volunteers. Many of the events will be free and we hope you will want to join in and celebrate with us. The site will be updated regularly as more detail becomes available and you can also keep up to date on facebook: facebook.com/Odihammagnacartacelebrations2015
