"A good spirited 'not for profit' community group, just trying to protect rural community assets from disappearing from our Haxey Parish villages. Thus raising awareness of public assets under threat, supporting fundraising events, and trying to attract good honest folk who have a common goal to preserve our heritage that benefit residents and visitors alike and to encourage a sense of well-being and togetherness in our much loved Haxey in the Isle of Axholme."

Haxey Hood 2024

  1. Once again hugely successful, with a very large attendance, congratulations to all those involved, especially in the clean up on Sunday morning.

Strong winds last night,(9th Dec), broke the base of the Christmas tree outside Haxey Memorial Hall. Thanks to the team for all their efforts rebuilding the base, the tree has now been re erected & looks splendid, well done everyone.

Haxey Hood Archive digitization

Heritage/Exhibition space


With the help of the country's leading folklorist Doc Rowe, who has been visiting the Hood since the 1970's, we want digitize & have a permanent display of some of his Haxey Hood collection, along with other locally sourced material. Since visiting Doc in the past few weeks and getting his co-operation to copy his video/film collection the project has taken a new turn.

 

 

Haxey Parish Culture & History group, has been formed as a stand alone committee, supported by Haxey Parish Council with it's own constitution . We have agreed, in principle, with the Haxey Memorial Hall committee to rent the Hood Room to use on a permanent basis, in the future, as the exhibition space. Meetings are to go ahead with North Lincolnshire Council's Museum Service, for advice as to how the limited space can be used to it's best advantage    & take the project forward.
