It’s all history!While the main focus is the study and research of Coxhoe’s past we also learn about the wider aspects of local history through visiting speakers.Members’ interest in history varies from the local enthusiast to the casually curious.

Meetings are relaxed and friendly with:

* A varied programme  provided by guest speakers.
