If you are a Vaughan Williams fan you might like to consider buying Dorking Museum’s book “Vaughan Williams in Dorking” by Celia Newbury, see https://dlhg.org.uk/history-group-publications/ https://dlhg.org.uk/history-group-publications

We are planning a tour of Eel Pie Island Museum (near Twickenham) on Sunday 19th May AM. It has a lot of great rock music history, a boatyard and more. See event details at www.dlhg.org.uk/current-programme/#EelPie

We have scheduled our first half-day out for 2026, a 2.5 mile walk ““How Railways Killed a Canal” on Saturday 30th May 10:30AM. See Current Programme – DLHG

Our 2026 programme is filling up nicely. We have added talks on “Elizabeth Barton – The Maid of Kent”,  “Chilworth’s Mills”, “Brookwood Cemetery and The London Necropolis Railway” and “Restoring the Art Deco Richmond Station” in May to July, and “The Medieval Wool Trade in Guildford” & “Vickers at Brooklands” in September.
