For our March meeting Colin Oakes will talk about local workhouses and the 1835 Chesham riots on 10th March.
There cannot be many family historians who do not have some ancester or 10 who was in the workhouse at some point in their life. What was life like for them? How did they manage to get out of the workhouse? What have workhouses to do with the 1835 Chesham riots? Colin Oakes will explain all on the 10th March.
This is a talk run by the Buckinghamshire Family History Society in the Eghams Room at Bourne End Community Centre starting at 19:45 (doors open at 19:30).
Visitors are very welcome. Entrance is free for members or £2 for non-members (or why not take out an annual membership from as little as £6).
