Outings

The society is not confined to meetings in Church House, but arranges visits to local buildings and institutions, many of which are not normally open to the general public. The society also organises trips, at reasonable charges to cover costs, to places of historical interest further afield. A visitor's-eye view of the most recent visits appears on our news page each month.
