​This is a brand- new group for Spring 2024, but already up to almost twenty members!                                      
The Group normally meets at 2.00pm on the first Wednesday of each month, currently at the Hearty Goodfellow Pub in Southwell.
​This is a new a self-help group and we plan to learn about any topic of interest, with members taking it in turn to share their knowledge. Topics could therefore be quite random, from any time and place, provided we think they will be fun to learn about.

​Members do not need any specific previous historical knowledge.

Initial Programme 2024:
April           Mali & Timbuktu,  Benin & Togo
May            Bess of Hardwick
June            Life & times of William the Conqueror 
July             D Day
August        Various mini topics!
September Old and New Algeria
October       A History of Cruising
November   Richard III: Good or bad?
December   Christmas and Winter Festivities and Traditions

Ideas for the future include:
  • The 1930s,
  • Glassmaking,
  • Framework knitting & the Calverton connection,
  • Peter the Great,
  • Food in a particular era,
  • The Lace Market,
  • Local stately homes and the connections between them,
  • The local oil industry & Kelham Hall,
  • History of gardening.
