Deddington & District History Society (D&DHS)
The society is open to all and exists to promote awareness of and interest in the history of Deddington and its neighbourhood. We hold monthly meetings, offering a mix of lectures and events (such as exhibitions and visits) of interest not just to members but to anyone living in the area. Many are happy simply to attend our meetings, but anyone wanting to carry out research into local or family history find in the society a friendly and supportive environment, with much advice on offer.
Our programme of speakers for 2024–25 can be found here
The Society meets at Deddington Primary School on the second Thursday in the month. See programme for details.
