About our History Society
Our society is a friendly group of residents of Cherry Hinton and beyond, sharing an interest in the history of Cherry Hinton and surrounding areas and memories of living here. We have ten meetings a year with a talk given by a guest speaker on historical subjects, often but not always, with a local context. The society also arranges excursions. Please see the programme lists (links at left) for a flavour of what we do.
We meet here in the Church Centre at 7.30pm on the last Monday of most months. A talk is followed by questions, coffee, lots of chat and a raffle to help the society's funds.
Membership for 2023 costs £10 for single members and £18 for couples. Guest membership for anyone who would just like to attend one talk is £2-50.
2023 talks
We started 2023 with a talk on January 30th. David Stubbings will give a talk about tramways in Cambridge streets.
On Monday 27th February we had an interesting talk on the Denny Abbey and Farm Museum by Christine Easterfield. We also hope to arrange an excursion later in the year to visit.

During lockdown we published monthly newsletters to keep in touch with our members which have been very well received. These comprise lots of interesting articles on the local history of Cherry Hinton and memories of residents. The last newsletter was July 2021.
