The Levens Local History Group - Meetings in 2022

UNLESS SPECIFIED OTHERWISE all our meetings are in Levens Village Hall, starting at 19.30 prompt.
​
​I'm sorry to report a disappointing turn-out on 21 April to hear Mike Winstanley's entertaining and informative talk on Feeding The Industrial Revolution, which was enjoyed by those who were there. We have been trying to avoid having s crowd hugger-mugger in the hall while still giving the people on our membership circulation list advance notice and reminders about upcoming speakers.
