History Group 1 meets on the third Thursday in the month from 10 am -12 pm in Wirksworth.
Our current period is Pre-Roman & Roman Britain.
Each month, either one of the group gives a talk on their chosen topic from the period or we watch a video. These activities are followed by discussion.
Topics include Archaeology in the Fens, the Roman invasions, Hadrian’s wall, Cartimanda, Caractacus,, Roman Mosaics, The Story of the Coliseum, Roman Chester and a visit from a dectectorist with examples of his findings.
We share the cost of room hire and contribute towards refreshments.
We currently have vacancies in the group.
