St Mark's Church, Dundela, History Archive
A message from the Rector ...
We recently came across a number of CD-ROM's in our parish office that included over 100 historical documents ranging from 1863 to 2005. The CD's contained old pictures and a variety of documents - plans, drawings, letters and deeds. While we had printed versions of these files we were unable to read the electronic format on the CD-ROMS. Fortunately our web designer, has been able to open and save the files in the popular public domain format, or PDF. (Most modern computers will be able to open these files automatically within your computer's web browser, however you if you find you cannot open the PDF, then you will need to download and install a PDF reader, here's a free version.)
These we have grouped together by date in the accordion below. Many thanks to Mark Allen, our web designer, for producing this historical archive and if you have any information that you think would be helpful, or find any inaccuracies, please send him an email here.
