PROGRAMME FOR THE REMAINDER OF 2026
Monday May 18 at 7:30 pm.
From Topsham to the Poles. The Tale of H.M.S. Terror, by John Davidson.
H.M.S. Terror was built in Topsham during the Napoleonic Wars, for the Royal Navy. After active service she went to both the Arctic and Antarctic on voyages of exploration. The Annual General Meeting will precede the talk.
Monday July 20 at 7:30 pm.
The Georgian Improvers of Dartmoor, by Simon Dell, Dartmoor National Park guide, police historian, Quaker records custodian and author. This talk describes the ambitious attempts 200 years ago to turn the moorlands of Dartmoor into productive agricultural land. The so-called ‘improvers’ had limited success, but their efforts made an impact on the landscape that can still be seen today. His talk will cover the changes to life and industry on Dartmoor from the 18 th century onwards and the improvements in mechanisation and agriculture during that time.
Monday October 5 at 7:30 pm.
My Devonshire Darlings – The Women’s Land Army in Devon, by Rebekah Pearson.
Becks, as she likes to be known, is an ex-Royal Naval Officer who lives locally in Lympstone. She brings some authentic Land Army uniforms with her.
