Check here frequently for news items about the society and for interesting articles from our archive.

In 2023 I gave a presentation to the Society about entertainment in Lighthorne from the 1870s to the 1940s, based in part on the contents of the Verney family scrapbooks, which had recently been auctioned. I wrote this afterwards. It's interesting to read about the involvement of Bruce Bairnsfather, inventor of the cartoon character Old Bill, who did so much for the morale of the troops in the trenches of WW1.
