Welcome!


Thank you for visiting the website of Stoneleigh History Society! We hope you will enjoy looking through it. Perhaps you might like to become a member, or come along to our meetings. You will always be made very welcome. stoneleighhistorysociety.org.uk image Our next meeting on Tuesday 27th October at 7:30pm in Stoneleigh Village Hall will be about "Mary Dormer Harris, 1867-1936, Historian, Writer, Pacifist, Feminist... Icon!" Jill Kashi will be introducing us to this local girl, born at Dale House Farm, Stoneleigh. Mary Dormer Harris became a local historian of great repute in her lifetime and has left a legacy that endures to this day: through her academic work; as an educator; a suffragist; a heritage campaigner and dramatist. This talk examines aspects of her cultural legacy, reflecting her passions and concerns as well as the influence of her Stoneleigh roots. Jean Field's book, Mary Dormer Harris - The Life and Works of a Warwickshire Historian, will be available to buy that evening: £5 for the paperback and £10 for the hardback. The October edition of the Stoneleigh and Ashow News is now available and the minutes of the September meeting.
