Historic Buildings Section
OUR SILVER JUBILEE!
Since its
creation in 1885 the Hampshire Field Club and Archaeological Society has always
been actively involved in the study of historic buildings.
The Historic
Buildings Section was formed in 1982 as a specialist group within the Society
in order that this aspect of the Society's work might be carried out more
effectively. The section aims to bring together people with a common interest
in the historic buildings of Hampshire, to promote research and help beginners,
to encourage awareness of the County's architectural heritage, and to help
preserve threatened structures of architectural or historic value. To this end
we organise a varied programme of Winter lectures and
visits to historic buildings. Reports on various topics of interest appear in the Newsletter. Edward
Roberts, the Historic Buildings Newsletter Editor, would welcome contributions via email. |
