Rushden & District History Society

To publicise our society and some of its activities we have arranged 'Discovery Days' and
attended various functions both in Rushden and around the county.
Here are a few pictures from some of these events.

Eric Parker, our member from New Zealand made a visit to our June 2006 meeting during a holiday back to England.


When the Research Group started their project to transcribe wills, Eric offered his help and worked from a photograph of the each will sent to him by email.

These photographs were taken at Cogenhoe village.

The theme was 1940s.

Our Society took several display boards.
