In January members of the Edwinstowe Historical Society enjoyed their annual lunch at the Dukeries Lodge Hotel in Edwinstowe, turning a damp, miserable winter’s day into a convivial occasion.

A number of enquiries have been received and answered, including one from Australia requesting information regarding a grandfather who emigrated there from Edwinstowe. and one from Syracuse, NY in the USA relating to an ancestor who emigrated from Edwinstowe to “Mansfield, West Jersey” in the 1680’s.

Information regarding Clumber House and Park has been added to the website (www.edwinstowehistory.org.uk), and for anyone who  wishes to learn what happened to the Russian Log Hut just click on “Trees of Sherwood Forest and Major Oak” on the same website.

Reminder.  The Society have chosen a new venue, namely Edwinstowe House, High Street, Edwinstowe, NG21 9PR.  Meetings will continue to be held on the 3rd Wednesday of the month, commencing at 2.00 p.m.  lasting for approximately 2 hours, with the programme of talks for 2025/26 remaining the same.
