Stretton on Dunsmore History Society.
Programme 2010
This Society was set up in 2001 following the highly successful publication of the book "Stretton on Dunsmore: the making of a Warwickshire Village" by the Stretton Millennium History Group.
The Society aims to promote and encourage interest in the local history of Stretton on Dunsmore and of history and archaeology in general.
Meetings are held in Stretton on Dunsmore Village Hall on a Tuesday evening, starting at 7.30 p.m. (unless otherwise indicated).
Talks are free to members, visitors are welcome (£2 for adults and £1 for children); free refreshments are provided.
