The Spondon Historical Society meet regularly at Spondon Village Hall for a variety talks, presentations and discussions.
Meetings are held on the 2nd Monday of each month and start at 7.30pm. Anyone is welcome to come along to the meetings with visitors paying a small admission charge. Details of our forthcoming meetings are as follows:
Monday, 9 December, 2019 | A Tudor Christmas, by Helen Chambers. |
Monday, 13 January, 2020 | John Glover's sketchbook: the life and work of the Leicestershire born artist John Glover, by Stephen Flinders. |
Monday, 10 February, 2020 | The Framework Knitters of the East Midlands, by Jane Whitaker. Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire were the centre for framework knitting in the 18th and early 19th centuries, the talk traces the years of plenty, to the downturn in prosperity in the face of new machines, and the Luddite struggle for improvement in working conditions and better pay. |
Monday, 9 March, 2020 | The curious world of Olde Time Punishments, by Ian Morgan. . From birching to branding and beheading to burning, the strange and curious world of olde time punishments is something to behold. Listen to stories of ducking stools and witches, the pillory and perjurers and many more. We all know of corporal and capital punishment but how do you punish the dead? And how do you punish a horse and cart or a train? The answers are all here in The Curious world of Olde Time Punishments. Just what is a deodand or a Newcastle cloak and what about the Branks of the Hand of Glory? |

Monday, 14 September, 2020 | A Nottingham Mediaeval Mystery, by Gareth Howell. What is the Fishpool Treasure Hoard, why is it such an important treasure and where might it have come from? |
