The Dorney Parish News, in its current format (or similar) was launched in the late 1940s under the editorship of T. W. E. Roche (known as Twee).

T.W.E. Roche was a very erudite man and wrote "The Precious Blood. A History of Burnham Abbey 1266-1966" and "A Pineapple for the King", a history of the Palmer family.

He also wrote the script for the Dorney Pageant on the occasion of the opening of the new Village Hall in Dorney Reach in 1970.

Charles Cody was editor of Dorney Parish News for an impressive fifty years from January 1968 to December 2018. Charles carefully curated printed copies of the 1961 - 2018 Editions and kindly passed them over to Dorney History in 2019.

The current editor, from February 2019, is Peter Bowman. 

These Archives include all 700+ copies of DPN that are available since September 1961.

The publication existed before then - started in January 1888, we believe - and some copies from 1894-1896 are included on the relevant link on the left hand side of this page.

The 1961 to 2018 printed editions have been scanned and digitised. They are searchable in both PDF and Text formats. They are on the link on the left hand side of this page.

Below are the digital editions of Dorney Parish News from February 2019 to date (latest first)
