SEPTEMBER 2024 MEETING

Our next meeting is on Wednesday, 18 September 2024 in Holy Cross Church Hall, Butts Road, Chiseldon, SN4 0NN at 7.30pm when the subject is ‘Wiltshire – a journey through time’ presented by Nick Baxter. Nick is a regular speaker on local topics and always gives an entertaining talk with excellent photographs and illustrations. Nick will take us through our remarkable county’s history from extensive iron age structures to Saxon settlement by the Wilsaetan people, to the importance of Salisbury in the middle ages to the opening of the M4. Everyone attending will certainly learn something new about Wiltshire!
