Newnham History Society

Newnham History Society

Membership costs £5 per year.

The society was created in 2022 to: 


  1. promote, develop and foster an interest in and appreciation of the history of Newnham and the surrounding area for the benefit of all who have lived or worked in Newnham, or will do so, or who otherwise have a general interest in Newnham and its history 

  2. promote the preservation, security and accessibility of archival material. 


 The Society holds at least four events a year.  Speakers provide interesting and entertaining talks on local history, we organise outings to local historical sites and we hold our own fun events with a historical theme, Our members receive four newsletters a year with articles and stories about the history of Newnham. We are a social group and welcome new members whether from Newnham or beyond who have an interest in local history. 


The Society is collecting originals or copies of photographs and documents relating to the history of Newnham which, of course, includes what happened yesterday, to create an Archive accessible to everyone. If you have photos or documents you think should be preserved for future generations please contact the society.
