Newington History Group

Newington used to be famous for its cherries and bees were important in pollinating the crop. Eric Layer will talk about bee-keeping and the insect's declining numbers at Newington History Group's annual meeting on Thursday, May 11th.

Guests are welcome to attend meetings on the second Thursday of the month in the Methodist Hall, Church Lane at 7:30pm. A 'Show and Tell' will hear members' stories of historic interest on June 8th.

The group seeks to unearth, preserve and promote the history of the village and neighbouring areas. An annual subscription is £15.
