Welcome to the website of the Lexden History Group.
In the nineteenth century Lexden was a small village on the outskirts of Colchester, Britain’s oldest recorded town. Now it is a seamless part of the town.
The Lexden History Group started in 2006 after informal discussions amongst a few residents interested in local, family and house history.
