Please contact Allan Howard, Leader of Kings Bromley Historians (alan.how8@btinternet.com) if you would like information about people who have lived in the village in the past or about places in the local area.
Historians' meetings and outings are planned for 2025. Please look in the Historians' Meetings section for further details.
The Historians’ arrangements for the village Advent Calendar are as follows: Teas, coffees and mince pies will be offered on Thursday 11 December, 10.30-11.30 am in the Village Hall, with an opportunity to visit the Historians’ archive and look at photo albums of the village over the years.
There will be no meeting of the Historians in the Village Hall in December, apart from the Advent Calendar event mentioned above. There will be a Christmas walk on Monday 29th December and members will receive further information about this nearer the time. Members will also be sent information about the Christmas meal which will take place in January.
Allan Howard has been contacted by the research team for the forthcoming series on BBC with David Olusoga called “Empire”. He was asked about the role of the Newton and Lane families in the history of slavery in Barbados. He was able to pass on a great deal of information and was thanked for his contribution. Allan was also contacted to provide information about Sarah Newton for the book “Heiresses” by Miranda Kaufman and was credited for this in “Unpublished sources” for the book.
Dr Misha Ewen has now completed some research on Barbary Newton and some information provided by Kings Bromley Historians has been included. For further details, please click on the link below:
