Bovingdon History Group

The Bovingdon History Group meets regularly at 8 p.m. in the Baptist Church in Bovingdon on the third Thursday in every month other than January, July and August. The church is a well equipped venue with comfortable chairs. It is set back from the High Street, next to 'The Cutting Garden' hairdressing salon. We usually have an illustrated talk lasting about an hour on some aspect of local history, followed by free tea and biscuits. We look forward to welcoming new members and occasional visitors to any of the meetings. The annual subscription is £12 and visitors pay £2 per visit.
