There's more to us than you might think...
We cover ALL aspects of our county's history. So historic buildings and ancient churches, documentary research and the landscapes of the past,
local history – as well as archaeology and fieldwork – all are within our remit.
And we're just as concerned about the present as the past: whether it's HS2 or local planning decisions, we work to protect the county's heritage and historic environment.

Buckinghamshire Local History Network 2019
ANNUAL CONFERENCE AND FAIR
BUCKINGHAMSHIRE SOCIAL HOUSING
– FROM ALMSHOUSES TO RIGHT-TO-BUY
A one-day conference on the changing face of housing for the people: cottages on manorial estates,
the 18th-century workhouse that provided work, the 19th-century workhouse that enforced it, 'Homes fit for Heroes' that launched council-provided housing after
the First World War, then the New Towns and Milton Keynes after the Second, and its dismantling through Right-to-Buy.
Saturday 5 October 2019 at The Oculus, the Aylesbury Vale District Council conference centre in Gatehouse Road, Aylesbury
– plus displays and bookstalls by the county's local history and archaeology societies.
