The Society exists to encourage and support research into the history of the village and people of Charlton Kings. Talks by local historians are held monthly between March and November with a break in July for the Summer.

Membership of the Society is £10.00 per year (January to December) and the monthly talks are included in the price of the membership. Non members pay £2.00 to come to the monthly talks.

The Society is grateful for their members because membership fees enable them to pay for the hire of the hall and the expenses of the visiting historians.

The Charlton Kings Local History Friends has an active and friendly Facebook page where people ask questions, post photographs and generally get involved in discussions around local history. You can click on the Facebook logo to link directly to this group or click the link here.

The Society welcomes new people and it is free to be part of the online community.
