The history of pubs in a north Norfolk town is explored in our newest book which was launched in November 2018.

The Aylsham Local History Society has produced ‘A New History of Aylsham Public Houses’, covering all the known and many newly discovered sites of licensing premises in the town, including alehouses, beer houses and inns. The book is a revision of the work published by Elizabeth Gale in 2001 and also looks at the important role of women in the business.

As you might expect, the present situation has meant that it has been decided that the meal at the Cliftonville Hotel 25th March, Barbara Miller’s talk 26th March and all of our Summer series: Museum Mardles, have been postponed for healthier times.

There are two other events planned for the Summer, an Embroidery Workshop (22nd June) and a talk about the book ‘Imperial Mud’ (16th July) which we will keep you informed if we can to go ahead with them.

Our 2019 AGM will be held before the talk on Oxnead.

We are very pleased to announce the launch of our new look website. We hope you like it!
