Beeding and Bramber Local History Society: If you are lucky enough to live in the area, you know that history is all around you. The ancient buildings, the landscape features and probably even your own home have a story to tell. There are local records which give fascinating insights into how people lived. For those studying family history, local research can reveal very moving and surprising personal details.
The Beeding and Bramber Local History Society was formed in 1981 for people who have an interest in the past of the two villages, as well as Botolphs, Small Dole and Edburton. From small beginnings, the society now has many members and meets regularly in the Beeding & Bramber Village Hall. |
For Members and Visitors
Talks are held from October to May, on the first Wednesday evening of each month. They cover subjects ranging from the local area and the County of Sussex to general topics of historic interest. Visitors are welcome at these talks, with just a small entrance fee for non-members. During the summer, excursions are arranged to places of local interest. Wherever possible, the Society uses members of local history societies as guides. |
