Friends Membership

Your membership is welcomed by the Friends of the Centre for English Local History. We are a relatively informal body of local historians comprising current members of the Centre, staff and students alike, former members and any other person who has the interests of the subject at heart. Our aim is to provide social and academic contacts between members, to spread news and information and to further the standing of the subject generally.
