Maresfield Historical Society

The purpose of Maresfield Historical Society is to promote and explore the heritage of the village and surrounding areas with regular talks, displays, guided walks, research projects, liaison with the local school and maintenance of an archive of local material.

We meet about nine times a year, usually on a Tuesday in Maresfield Village Hall, and our events are open to both members and non-members of the Society. We are a small and enthusiastic group and have enjoyed talks on a range of topics. Our current programme for 2022 is as follows:

22nd February - Helen Poole 'Cromwell and the Sussex Monasteries'

22nd March - Delia Taylor ‘Victorian Street Life’

26th April - Ian Everest 'The Women's Land Army'

24th May - AGM

20th September - Gilly Halcrow 'Whatever happened to Christopher Robin?'

25th October - David Miller ‘Archaeological Excavations of Bridge Farm in Barcombe'

22nd November - Chris Horlock ‘A Sussex Christmas ‘

13th - Christmas Drinks in the Chequer

All talks start at 8pm in Maresfield Village Hall and last apprximately 1 hour, followed by tea and biscuits.

Annual membership of the Society costs £15 per family and £10 per individual.

Non-members, who are always very welcome, pay £3 per visit.
