The Society participated in St Mary’s Christmas Tree Festival, choosing “EHS revisits the Past” as the theme. The display contained copies of the monthly adverts for the talks during the past year, during which time, thanks to our interesting speakers, members have heard about the Pilgrim Fathers and the Wampanoag nation; were astounded by the stewardess who survived the sinking of the Titanic; experienced details of 3 sieges at Newark during the civil war; took “visits” to Worksop Manor, Newstead Abbey (actually Priory) and Edwinstowe Hall; learned of the women who had contributed to Nottingham’s history; and journeyed along the River Maun.
The coming year looks to be equally as interesting and entertaining. The first talk for 2025 will be presented on 19th February, by Adrian Gray, entitled “Worksop, Witches and an American Legacy. “The Life of Richard Bernard”.
