Society Information
The Cowley Local History Society provides talks on topics mainly, although not exclusively, on the history of the villages of Cowley Parish.
These are usually by local historians who have researched extensively within their chosen area and often have published their discoveries in books or as articles within historical journals.
Past talks have ranged from
|
|
A brief history of the Templars and their involvement in the area (Temple Cowley)
|
|
The development of Cowley Road
|
|
The Shipton on Cherwell Railway Disaster
|
|
The SS Great Britain Story
|
Many talks are illustrated with slides and those which cover the past within memory are, perhaps understandably, the most popular.
In addition to talks the last meeting in the summer is usually a visit to a place of some local interest, an Oxford College or one of the local historic homes.
