In October last year our still relatively new Sawbridgeworth Local History Society organised its first Evening Meeting. Our speaker was Elizabeth Waugh whose book, Rivers Nursery of Sawbridgeworth: the Art of Practical Pomology, was published in 2009. Elizabeth very kindly wrote an article for this website which can be found by clicking on the following line: Rivers and the Rural way of life.
A reprint of Elizabeth’s book in currently in production. If you would like a copy write to rhso1725@gmail.com or contact the Sawbridgeworth Town Counci at info@sawbridgeworth-tc.gov.uk
Meanwhile we can already announce another evening meeting. On Thursday 29th March Hugh Howes will do a talk on Hertfordshire Mills. The talk is based on his book Wind Water and Steam. The event will take place at the Hailey Centre and starts at 7 pm. We would love to see you there.
