Originally hosted by WordPressLink opens in a new window - on a site set up in collaboration with Joanne Anderson, David Beck and Donald White in November 2012 and then looked after by John Morgan until 2016-17 - the My-Parish online resource re-launched on the Warwick server with the help of Dave Toulson and the History department in 2017. It is aimed at any individual or group with parish-related interests, hoping to facilitate exchange between universities, research institutions, history / heritage societies and local communities.
