humtingdon-imagesThe Society was founded in 1957 to promote interest in the local history of Huntingdonshire and throughout the year provides a programme of lectures, events, excursions and publications.

 

We kick off the Summer 2025 Excursions with a visit to a local medieval church, St Mary’s of Godmanchester. We meet at the Church at 3:00pm when Dr Ken Sneath, the author of a book about the history of the Church, will talk about the Church and lead us in an internal tour of the fabric of the building.

Afterwards, we move on to another location in Godmanchester when we will be given the opportunity to explore an old, forgotten, Ice House. We will follow this with some light refreshments.

For further information see the Future Events Tab at the top of the page.
