SAWBRIDGEWORTH LOCAL HISTORY SOCIETY HERTFORDSHIRE ASSOCIATION FOR LOCAL HISTORY AWARDS

Accompanied by SLHS Co-Chair, David Royle, Theo van de Bilt, founder member of the Sawbridgeworth Local History Society (SLHS), former Chairman, member, writer, and researcher, received a well-deserved award on 18 May at the Hertfordshire Association of Local History AGM in Potters Bar for services to local history. The citation highlighted his contribution before and after the formation of SLHS in 2016 and his ongoing involvement in writing articles and books about our local history, most recently the extremely popular High Wych History in Pictures.

The AGM also featured an entertaining talk about the battle of Barnet 1471 by the Curator at Barnet Museum
