Upchurch and Lower Halstow residents can find out about Roman artefacts found in the villages at Newington History Group's meeting on Thursday, March 9th.
Details about the area's Roman occupation and the things left behind will be presented by Pauline Stevens, a local historian and former teacher, at 7:30pm in the Methodist Hall, Church Lane, Newington.
The History Group has been examining many items found recently alongside the A2 at Keycol Hill where there is thought to have been an important Roman camp.
Guests are welcome at the meetings on the second Thursday of the month. On April 13th you can hear about shipbuilding in Sheerness.
The group seeks to unearth, preserve and promote the history of the village and neighbouring areas. It organises special projects to enhance the area and works with the primary school in encouraging children to take an interest in their village's past.
An annual subscription is £15.
