WELCOME TO
WINCHESTER CATHOLIC HISTORY SOCIETY
This year, 2021, is our Silver Jubilee.
In addition to our monthly engaging and entertaining talks, we will be celebrating with a special event in July.
Our Society has grown considerably since it’s inception in 1996 and we now have speakers on wide ranging historical topics, but have remained true to our aim:
‘to develop and foster an interest in, and an appreciation of history, especially in Catholic, local and English history’.
