Visits to Churches and Lectures for members
Join our organized church visits. Dates for 2010 will be announced shortly.

We visit two or three neighbouring churches on summer afternoons. We arrange local speakers to give us the history of each church and to point out interesting features, and we end with tea organized by the last parish. We meet at the first church listed, and members provide their own transport. If you haven't got transport, Jennifer Raikes may be able to help.


Winter Lectures
We arrange lectures (with tea) on features of churches.

2009-2010:

Tuesday 3rd November 2009 at 2:30pm: Lenham Community Centre, Canon Peter Brett, “The English Medieval Parish Church”

Saturday 13th March 2010 from 10:00am - 3:30pm: Ightham Church, Professor Nigel Saul, “Look and Learn how to Interpret a Country Church”
