Meetings

Meetings are held on the fourth Thursday of each month (except June, July and August) starting at 8pm in Church House, Churchyard, Hitchin. A guest speaker talks, usually with illustrations, on an aspect of local history. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, light refreshments follow the talk, and you will be made warmly welcome.

Church House

The meetings are held in Church House, a building dating from about 1970 in Churchyard, on the north side of the church. It is conveniently located for car parking in Portmill Lane or St Mary’s Square.

The building was designed by W S Hattrell and Partners and on the front is a mural by Anthony Holloway, which Sir Nikolaus Pevsner thought might be symbolic of the destruction of the past by modern machinery.

Our next meeting

25th September

Our monthly meetings have now ceased for the summer but start again on 25th September.

Our first meeting of the autumn is 'Hertfordshire's Hidden Histories', a talk by Dr Jill Barber during which she will investigate the links between Hertfordshire people, the slave trade and its abolition.
