West Norfolk & King's Lynn Archaeological Society

Change Of Venue For This Seasons Meetings!
The Kings Lynn workers Club has told us that they will not be able to accomodate the society's next meetings and so we are looking for a new location.
Please check on this page before the next meeting for details of where it will be.

If you are interested in Archaeology and the history of the local area come and join us! We welcome new members who share our interest in our heritage, so come along and attend a meeting.

Ancient Gateway

The society is a group of people interested in West Norfolk and its history. The club organises a series of lectures on archaeology topics which focus on West Norfolk although we do invite lecturers from further afield when the topic is relevant to our area. We meet once a month on the third Tuesday, with some exceptions over the Christmas period. Note that the venue for meetings has changed from the Farmers Arms to Kings Lynn Working Mens Club.

All meetings are held at the Kings Lynn Working Mens Club, Church Street, Kings Lynn. All meetings start at 7-30 pm except the AGM/talk which is at 7-15 pm

Information regarding the Winter Programme 2011/12 is now available under the Lectures menu item.

The local WEA Coordinator (Mrs June Shinn) has asked us to circulate the attached flyer relating to their 2012 programme. There is an 8-week course that is just starting that includes WWII Archaeology, 'The Friendly Invasion - Wartime USAAF East Anglia', scheduled for Thursday 10:00am. The speaker has a good background and pedigree Mr. Ian McLachlan. He has published a number of books on USAAF archaeology, see:
