Lectures
Since its foundation in 1946 the society has put on a series of six autumn/winter lectures each year. The topics covered in these lectures vary from subjects of local historical interest to national issues. See below for details of upcoming lectures.
These lectures are held in various venues around the county. The lectures for the coming winter are given below.
