Hexham Local History Society was founded in 1968 and is now the largest local history society in Northumberland.
Our members meet monthly for a programme of talks and, in the summer months, visits to locations of historic interest throughout the northeast.
Details of planned visits are now available on line. Just click on the coach to see the details and booking information.
New members are always welcome to meetings. Just come along to one of our meetings, at 7.30pm on the second Tuesday in the month at Trinity Methodist Church Hall, or contact our Membership Secretary. Visitors are also welcome, at a charge of £2. A leaflet describing the benefits of membership is downloadable from here
We publish a newsletter three times a year and an annual journal, The Hexham Historian, an index to which is available to download free from this site.
Members are also able to access our growing research library of downloadable documents relating to the history of Hexham. New titles are being added all the time but already include Hearth Tax and Jury lists, in addition to the Rossiter Database of inhabitants from the 17th century. A recent addition is Dickson's Wards & Divisions of Tynedale; The wards, divisions, parishes and townships of Northumberland.
If you have a query relating to the Hexham area, why not post it on our Notes & Queries page? One of our members, or other visitors to the site, may well have the answer. You do not have to be a member of the Society but will need to complete a short registration form.
