Please email our treasurer to order this journal.

The articles in this journal have been written by members and friends of the Society. They are all meticulously researched, some over many years.

This journal adds to the record at a time when, as always, knowing our local history while respecting and conserving our built heritage are both paramount.

The articles are timely, documenting the lives of those who have proceeded us, adding to our knowledge of many buildings which have (mostly) survived previous development surges.
