Bugbrooke History Group

Meetings are held approximately every 2 months at the Community Centre, when there are talks by guest speakers and discussions on historical topics, with particular emphasis on local history.

All meetings are free of charge and there is no membership fee. Anyone who is interested is welcome.

The Group is affiliated to NLHA (Northamptonshire Local History Association) and CLASP (Community Landscape and Archaeology Survey Project), and is regularly updated on developments on archaeological sites. There are opportunities to join 'digs'.

Next Meetings:-

Next Meeting will be 9th June when Kate Wills will talk about Old Cures and Remedies, then Sept. 8th Peter Clarke will talk about and show photos from the Chronicle and Echo archives.
