Next talk: Monday 12 September 2022, 7:00 for 7:30pm – at King’s Church: Sue Berry: Lewes Development in the 1830s and 1840s
The Lewes History Group presents public talks on the 2nd Monday of each month. We invite speakers who address particular topics of interest, and we list the talks below. For 2022 we have also listed a number of Research Talks. Research project meetings are held periodically. These meetings are for members working on research projects, and for those considering starting a project or participating in a current project. The aim of the meetings is to review progress and develop expertise. We also arrange courses in research skills and use of resources.
