Eileen Dolling, Chulmleigh Town Crier, will welcome delegates to the Summer Meeting of the Devon History Society on Saturday 6th June in Chulmleigh Pavilion.  Chulmleigh Local History Society are thrilled to be hosting this event in the Town – described by W.G. Hoskins as “an ancient Market Town” with the original Charter granted in 1253 by Henry III.
This is an exciting opportunity to hear three lectures by local speakers, explore exhibitions of local villages in the Town Hall, and walk a Town Trail led by members of the Local History Society.  Notable buildings open to visit are the Old Court House and the town churches, with presentations in St Mary’s during the afternoon.  You may purchase tickets to attend the morning lectures and Town Trail from www.devonhistorysociety.org.uk or telephone 01647-433402 no later than 26th May.  Tickets include lunch and refreshments with payment made direct to Devon History Society.
