Bedwyn History Society provides for
its members a programme of about 8 talks on topics of local and wider
historical interest. The programme usually includes an outing to an area of local historical interest accompanied by an expert guide. Recent outings have included a walk to Chisbury hill-fort, a walk through Savernake Forest and Bedwyn Common to Tottenham House, and a guided visit to some of the ancient trees in Savernake Forest. The Society also produces an occasional publication called The Bedwyn Chronicles, containing articles of about the history of the Bedwyns and the neighbourhood. Membership of the Bedwyn History Society is a bargain at £10 per year, starting from the AGM in September.
