PROTECTING OUR HERITAGE, SHAPING THE FUTURE
By Wendy Hill
For this 2026 CHRIS JOHNSON MEMORIAL TALK, Wendy will speak about Caroline Alice, Lady Elgar (nee Roberts, 1848-1920). She was an English author of verse and prose fiction, who married the composer Edward Elgar.
Both Alice and Edward married out their respective classes and their respective religions.
Meetings are held in Burgage Hall, usually on the last Friday of the month. They start at 7.30pm, unless otherwise stated.
We recommend arriving around 10 – 15 minutes beforehand so you have time to settle in and the meeting can start on time.
Open to members and non-members. Free for members, £5.00 for non-members. There is no need to book in advance unless otherwise stated.Â
Burgage Hall is accessed from Church Lane and down the path beside Butcher Row House Museum. Alternatively take Chapel Alley (next to the newsagents) off the High Street and enter through the double doors.
The Society organises about eight meetings each year.
