“A Welcome in the Hills”
(Refugees in Cumbria in the 1930s)
Presenter: Rob David
This illustrated lecture examines the lives of refugees who came to Cumbria from Spain, Czechoslovakia, Austria and Germany during the 1930s, and the welcome they received in the county. The significant role of a number of determined individuals who led Cumbria’s response, mainly women, is highlighted, and recent discoveries relating to children brought to Cumbria from Prague by Sir Nicholas Winton in 1939 will also feature.

Event Details
“Wealth and Possessions in Early Modern Asby”
– A study of Wills and Inventories
Presenter: Keith Cooper
Mid to late Sixteenth Century wills are one of the few (perhaps the only) documents in which we can hear the voices of Elizabethan Asbeians speaking in the first person, as they set out bequests and arrangements for the care of family members. The inventories of their possessions, made very shortly after death, offer insights into their wealth – or lack of it – and their agricultural practices, as well as details of their clothing, kitchen equipment, and furniture; many items with names which have long gone from daily use.
Keith is part way through a study of nearly 250 Asby wills and inventories from the mid-Sixteenth to the mid-Eighteenth Century and will share some of his findings from the first tranche of Sixteenth Century documents.

(and environs)
Presenter: Bruce Bennison
A whole day outing to Holme Cultram Abbey, (between Wigton and Silloth). It will be led by Bruce Bennison, who has guided us on a number of visits in the past.
It will be a whole day outing – Bruce assures me that a very good pub will be included in the itinerary – so I will be back to you, in due course, to confirm times, sort-out car sharing, and take advance orders for lunch.
