Peter Ewart's illustrated talk will tell of violence and treachery, and about the local creeks and buildings that notorious gangs used for their contraband.
The history group's Facebook page includes videos of last month's Iron Age and Roman excavations and its website has details of other projects.
The group meets on the second Thursday of the month. It seeks to unearth, preserve and promote the history of the village and neighbouring areas. Annual subscription is £15 and guests (£3) are welcome.
