'We'd like to have you with us!'

Next Members’ Meeting

Thursday 23rd September at 7.30 pm
The Brewer Building, St Mary’s Church,
Putney Bridge
Our Local Cemeteries - Past & Present

The Old Burial Ground on Upper Richmond Road, Putney Cemetery on Putney Lower Common and Putney Vale Cemetery all offer valuable sources of information on local social history. They are well worth a visit!
Our speaker, Dale Ingram, will present an illustrated talk on Wandsworth’s Victorian Cemeteries - which she has studied in depth recently. Ms Ingram is a conservation expert and a member of the Tooting Local History Society.
We also hope to update you, during the meeting, on the serious issue of the unlawful demolition, last May, of the detached Victorian house at 8 Lower Common South - which is expected to be discussed at the 14th Sept meeting of the Council’s Conservation Areas Advisory Committee, of which Dale Ingram and John Horrocks are members. Will the Council bring a criminal prosecution? Do you think it should?
The meeting is for all Society members and friends
