Upper Eden History Society

Are you interested in local history? Where the Romans travelled through Cumbria, or when the Border Reivers made their raids perhaps? Did you know there has been a weekly market in Kirkby Stephen since 1353? What are the stories behind the names on the war memorial? Join us to find out more: monthly talks from October to April on topics as wide ranging as the plague in Upper Eden, the building of the railways or refugees in World War 1.

We meet on the third Monday of the month at the Methodist Church Hall in Kirkby Stephen: Current Programme. Visitors are very welcome at individual meetings, admission £5 , while Membership is £15 per year. Click for a brief history of UEHS.
