On Saturday (11th September) some members of the Hawley Society are visiting Parwich as an addition to their 2010 European Conference. The American based Hawley Society are a single name family history society. The main American Hawley line descends from Joseph Hawley (1603 to 1690), who was originally from Parwich but emigrated to Connecticut in the first half of the seventeen century.
The visit will include a guided tour of the village led by Parwich & District Local History Society and supper at the Sycamore Inn with an informal talk presented jointly by both Societies. The Hawley Society members will then spend Sunday touring the Peak District and some other Derbyshire villages with Hawley links.
