From Medieval crime and punishment and a spell in the stocks, to Witney in
the second World War. Ever wonder why Witney has so many pubs? Find out

History is about questions, answers and stories, not just facts. Discovering the
story of things that have happened is like opening a door into a another world.
Our Historical Society is not just about long ago days, we also look at how the
recent past has shaped the present - why not come along and meet our guest
speakers...
Everyone is welcome to join us - you can find more information on upcoming
talks or if you would like to know more, please do contact us.
Over time we plan to add various historical resources and content to our
