The Halstead and District Local History Society was formed on Thursday December 16th
1976 at a meeting held in the Scout Hut, New Street, Halstead.
The Society currently has a membership of over 100 and holds meetings on the third
Thursday of each month in the Baptist Church, Hedingham Road, Halstead, Essex.
Each year we run a varied programme of local history related meetings spanning the
dark ages to more recent times including the influence of the industrial revolution
on the area.
