Longstone Local History GroupThe Longstone Local History Group have a regular programme of events (usually in the Village Hall on the 3rd Tuesday of the month). They have published a number of booklets of local interest including Robert Thornhill's "Longstone Notes", "Aspects of 19th Century Longstone" and "Memories of The Second World War". A major project being undertaken by the group during 2005 is the production of a Village Video. There is a interesting collection of information about Longstone on the GENUKI website.
