Welcome
…to the Betley Local History Society’s website.
In addition to the information here we organise regular monthly meetings, usually on the third Thursday of each month (except December). They’re held at the Methodist Chapel, The Butts, Betley. CW3 9AS.
Take a look at our ‘Programme of Events’ to see what’s coming up. These include:
Talks on topics of local historical interest or on wider issues relating to the village
Visits to various sites, landscapes, properties, buildings, record offices, archives etc.
Local research projects about Betley village and life in and around Betley in bygone times
We would like to involve as many local researchers and speakers as possible in our activities - so please do get in touch, using the contact link, if you’d like to find out more.
