Greenham Common's History - a talk by Penny Stokes Historic/Heritage

greenham_commons_history__a_talk_by_penny_stokes



Eminent local author and historian, Penny Stokes, will describe the many dramas which have taken place on the common: from Redcoat musters to refugee housing, golf to glider warfare, furze-gathering to filming, and bare-knuckle prize-fighting to bomb storage.

Copies of Penny's latest book The Common Good: The Story of Greenham Common will be available to purchase, which she will be pleased to sign for you.

Price includes tea or coffee and cake. Book all five sessions in a quarter for the bargain price of four. Booking in advance is highly recommended, but turn up and you can pay on the day, if places are still available.

This talk is organised by Berkshire Family History Society which is a registered charity (no. 283010).
