In May 2022, in co-operation with Fownhope Parish Council, and to mark the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, the Group organised and funded an event celebrating the restoration of the memorial to Tom Spring, the undefeated bareknuckle boxing champion of all England in the early 1800s, who was born in Fownhope. A new parish walk, the Tom Spring walk, was inaugurated as part of the Jubilee celebrations, culminating at the memorial site with speeches, and a rendering of traditional and freshly composed ballads by the local folk singing group, the Bushelbag Carollers.
The Group has published books and booklets covering general histories of Fownhope, and is currently working on a history of Common Hill.
