LATEST NEWSLETTER FROM THE HISTORY SOCIETY

Parade in The Street, Fetcham, for the homecoming of
Lieutenant George Barnard Hankey, probably on 5 July 1900.
Led by Bookham Brass Band, seen here in front, the carriage was
being pulled by villagers rather than horses.

* The June 2019 Newsletter should now be with every member of the L&DLHS and all stewards who volunteer to help at the Leatherhead Museum. The Newsletter is now much more than just a communication with members. It provides a vital window on our subject and helps encourage membership growth. We now print more copies at marginal cost for public consumption as well as ensuring all members receive them in return for their subscriptions.

* This edition complements the current Museum exhibition celebrating the centenary of the first votes for women in Britain.

*  Other items covered include the special exhibition on Ashtead Potters.

*  The edition pays tribute to leading figures of the Society who have had to step back for health reasons.

*  The edition also welcomes the new joint Museum managers, Peter Humphreys and Duncan Macfarlane.

*  All members have been notified of the effects of the new General Data Protection Regulation which protects their personal information.
