Welcome to our latest Season of Talks and Activities.
Next meeting: Our next meeting is today, Thursday, 12th March at 8pm in the Village Hall.
Dr Judith Hill will be telling us about "Upstairs, Downstairs" - Victorian Life below stairs in the 19th century.
In Britain throughout the nineteenth century and until the First World War, domestic service was the largest single occupation of women and the second largest employment of all people, male and female. Large numbers of domestic staff had of course characterised the great houses of the nobility for centuries. What was new in the nineteenth century was the growth of domestic service which paralleled the growth of the middle classes.
Guests are welcome at £3, or join for the whole year for only £10. We hope to see you there.
A full programme of talks for next season is available on the Our Programme page (link above).If you would like to join the society, email us or just come along to the next meeting - £10 for the year.
