This thriving group of, mostly, non-experts, covers many aspects of history and includes talks and visits to places of interest in our area.
We encourage the contributions , large or small, of the group members.
Topics have ranged over Roman, South American, Medieval, 20th Century, military, social and industrial history. We have lived in historic times and so Oral History plays a good part.
New members are always welcome.
