Formerly the Family History Group, ‘Talking Local History’ meetings feature informal talks, mainly by members, but also by visiting speakers, on topics that they have been researching – with occasional ‘audience participation’!
The meetings are on the fourth Tuesday of the month at 7.30pm in the Court Room, Old Police Station. At present (November 2021) we continue to provide talks via Zoom, although we will be experimenting with hybrid Zoom (live “in person” + zoom).
Everyone is welcome, but CCHS members who are new to Campden may find the talks of particular interest, providing an introduction to Campden’s history. The meetings are equally of interest to people who were born locally and have their own stories and memories to tell.
