Dear All,
In February the society welcomed John Bulaitis who talked about the Tithe wars, especially in the 1930s which initially centred round the Elham Valley with many participants being from the Barham area. Although relatively recent these events are a little known aspect of agricultural history.
On Monday 9th March at Barham Village Hall 7.30pm Len Howell will be back to talk about “Decoding the Mappa Mundi : The Medieval view of their World”. Whilst primarily based on the Mappa Mundi at Dover Castle he will refer to others.
On April 13th, at Barham Village Hall, Doreen Rosman will be giving us a talk on 'Life in Tudor Canterbury: From Catholic to Protestant'. The talk focuses on the experience of a man born 500 years ago in 1526 and examines the momentous changes he would have lived through.
If you know of anyone would like to be kept in touch with the society’s activities please ask them to contact David Wood (dw4746@yahoo.co.uk / 01227 832430) and they will be put on the monthly circulation list.
The Atherton Heritage Centre at Barham Village Hall is open every Wednesday morning 10 ’til noon.
Thanks
David Wood
