Archaeology at Smallhythe Place
Tuesday 25th March @ 8pm
The excavation of a medieval site at Smallhythe Place that was once used for shipbuilding has delighted archaeologists when they also came across earlier evidence of a Roman settlement. National Trust historian, Nathalie Cohen, will explain the finds and how they contribute towards our knowledge of the site and wider area.
Annual General Meeting
Tuesday 29th April
The AGM of the Historical Society will start promptly at 8pm and will be followed by the talk below.
Witchcraft
Tuesday 29th April (following the AGM)
Witchcraft has been around since before Roman times and throughout history there have been witch hunts fuelled by religious tensions and social anxieties. Accusations of witchcraft were more often than not made by neighbours, often against women, the elderly and marginalised individuals. Rebecca Warren will be our guide for this exploration of witchcraft.
