  Lavendon village has its own History Group
(part of the Lavendon Old Peoples Welfare
Club). The Group has a meeting most months
to listen to a speaker, usually on a local
or general interest history topic. Although
these talks are organised by the Old Folks,
they are always of broad interest to a wider
audience, and normally include a slideshow. The talks are open to anyone, regardless of age, and are usually held on a Monday afternoon starting at 2pm in the Lavendon Village Hall. There is a charge of £1 for members and £2 for visitors or non-members. This helps to cover the cost of speakers as well as the tea and biscuits that are included. ............................................................... Calendar of Meetings held in 2011
