Welcome!

Welcome to Roade Local History Society’s new website.
Our purpose is to collect, record, study, and protect documents, images, physical ephemera, and events from our past of a local historical significance. We collect these for the benefit of residents, the wider community and future generations. We cover the Village and Parish of Roade and surrounding areas of Northamptonshire.

Activities

We organise an Events programme consisting of a series of 8 talks a year normally held during the Winter, Spring and Autumn months. In the Summer we organise one or two Outings to local places of interest.

Our Projects programme is a process of research and study which normally culminates in a Talk, Exhibition or Publication.
We celebrate all our achievements during the year with a Members Lunch each January
