Aim of History Society

The aim of the History Society is to stay non profit making but able to cover outlay, and provide a natural historical background to the people of Membury and anyone else who may find it of interest.  This is best explained in a brief paragraph on what actually happens to bring local, and many times national, history to the people. 

Recently an expert in stained glass gave a talk with examples of stained glass, which was then followed up with a coach trip to St. Andrews Church, Plymouth to see a leading example of stained glass.  Toward the end of September 2006 there will be a talk on WW11 airfields in the village hall followed shortly afterward with a visit to Dunkerswell airfield to see an exhibition of  WWII aeroplanes. Following on a week or two later there will be a talk by a local person, Hazel Riley. on the Quantocks.  Again this will be followed with a coach trip to the Quantocks.  I hope this helps the reader to follow our path to the enjoyment of local history?
