Northop Heritage Group is a small group of Northop residents that exists to promote the unique heritage within and around the village of Northop. The group was formed in 2003 as an offshoot of Northop 2000.Whilst not undertaking extensive primary research, the group relies heavily on existing published material such as the excellent Pride of Northop book available from Northop Post Office.

The Group’s first promotional activity was the production and publication of the Northop Heritage Trail leaflet. This leaflet, now in its third print run is available widely around the region, distributed to key tourist and retail outlets by members of the group. You can download a PDF copy of the leaflet here Heritage Trial Leaflet (7.21 MB 2008-04-27 19:16:35). The leaflet shows key historical buildings in the village, concentrating on the themes of Northop’s ecclesiastical history; its place on the Pilgrims’ trail across North Wales and Northop as an important coaching centre from the early 1600’s.

In addition Northop Heritage Group has been responsible for the production of 2 Christmas cards showing different scenes of the Church; the Northop village postcard (available from Northop Post Office) and a limited edition desk calendar for 2008. Further projects are underway so watch this space for news in the coming months!
