On September 15 Dr Chris King gave an engaging and well received presentation on “Nottingham Caves” which, despite an amber weather warning and a fallen tree in Town Street, was well attended.  Our next hall meeting will be on Monday 20 October 2025 when we will have a very short AGM followed by a presentation from Stephen Flinders on “Stanton on Film”.  We look forward to seeing members and guests at that meeting.

The programme for our hall meetings for 2025 is below.

We have an ongoing project to record all the memorials/inscriptions in the graveyard at St. Michael’s Church.

We are also hoping to record more oral histories this autumn. If you were living in Bramcote prior to 1980 and would like to share your memories with members of our research team, please get in touch via the “contact us” facility on this website.

Whilst the initial talk about the history of Bramcote’s primary schools (1900-2000) has now taken place, the research group would still be pleased to hear from anyone who could add to our archive of material on this subject. We are particularly interested to know if anyone could tell us about the evacuees who spent some time in the village school in the early 1940s. Please use the “contact us” facility if you can assist.
