This site is
designed to be the Society's 'virtual museum', and a showcase of
the varied and long history of Kings Langley. Working alongside
the Society's own publications list, including "Kings Langley: A
Hertfordshire Village" (Kings Langley Local History and Museum
Society, 1991) and its series of six lectures each year on themes
of local interest, the site is designed to show the major areas
of interest in the village, and highlight its key historical events.
The Society
eventually hopes to establish a bricks and mortar museum in Kings
Langley to house and display its growing collection of important
local artefacts.
In addition
to "Kings Langley: A Hertfordshire Village" other publications of
the Society include:
"Life and Death
in Kings Langley" - wills from 1498 - 1659 "Palace Priory and Mills"
- a brief history
"Kings
Langley Heritage Trail"
"Postcards
of Old Kings Langley"
The Society
currently has 180 active members, and is a growing, respected part
of the local community. Click the link to see our forthcoming events
