Programme for 2025

9th January 7.30pm on Zoom
'Cobham Parish - A Kentish Gem' - an illustrated talk by Christoph Bull, who gave us his inside knowledge of Kent's libraries so dynamically a few years ago; his other specialist subject is local history of the Gravesend area, where his jobs include Mace Bearer to one local council and Historical Adviser to another. Cobham village lies in a Conservation Area and an AONB. It is the birthplace of the Ashes, an inspiration for Charles Dickens, the home of famous architect Sir Herbert Baker, has a wonderful stately home 'Cobham Hall', and Christoph reckons it contains the best collection of memorial brasses within the Kingdom of Kent - possibly in England.
