The Bathford Society

The Bathford Society

The society started as the Bathford Local History Society in 1975 and was renamed later to reflect its wider scope covering environmental matters affecting the Parish.

Our president is Mr G. Laurence and Vice President is Mr Tony Cox of Mumfords Vineyard, Bannerdown.

What do we do?

• We run an Annual Programme of Talks by local speakers on a wide variety of topics with a local history interest.
