Celebrating the Town’s Past
The Aylsham Local History Society began in June 1984 through the enthusiasm of a group of local people with an interest in the history of this wonderful Norfolk market town. The Society arranges a diverse programme of lectures, visits and social events.
- A series of monthly evening lectures is held during the winter months and a course of weekly lectures is arranged each Autumn, dovetailed with two series of WEA lectures.
- Several excursions are made to augment the lectures and to visit places of historical interest. Members are also invited to a Social Event each Spring.
- A Journal & Newsletter is issued three times a year, summarising the lectures and excursions.
- By courtesy of the Aylsham Town Council members can also undertake research using the Aylsham Town Archive with the guidance of the Town Archivist.
