Welcome to the History of Bath Research Group
The History of Bath Research Group was founded in 1986 with the objective of bringing together historians who were actively engaged in research in the Bath area. Many of the members have published on different aspects of local history (including studies in the Journal Bath History) and have given papers at meetings or contributed in other ways.
13/2/2020 - Meetings Suspended
Due to Covid 19, our meetings were suspended after our March Meeting
15th May 2020 - A new schedule of meetings for the coming season will be published this summer. Meanwhile this website remains available with hundreds of articles on Bath's history - please feel free to browse. If you have any queries, the committee is available to answer them or to pass them on to those who may be able to answer, please use the Enquiries form. The Bath Historial Directories website is also available for those interested in finding out about Bath's people and organisations and work is underway on the Post Office Directory for 1932, which we hope to add in the coming weeks.
2020/2021 Meetings Start in September
The 2020/2021 Series of Meetings Calendar will start in September,
at St. Mary's Church Hall, Bathwick.
A new Meetings Calendar for 2020/2021 will be published shortly.
We look forward to seeing you there.
N.B. It was not possible to re-arrange the visit to the Royal Mineral Hospital before the summer break.
