Winlaton & District Local History Society was formed in 1970 with only 12 members, meeting in St Cuthbert’s rectory in Blaydon. We now have over 140 members and regularly have 100 plus people attending each meeting.

We have guest speakers with slides and film shows, giving presentations on topics ranging from the history of Winlaton to the 5000 year history of Northumberland.

Developed from a very dedicated group of researchers, our group has become a monthly social evening where people can explore their interest in the history and origins of the area. It’s also a unique opportunity to meet with friends, form new friendships and bring up your own points for discussion.

We meet the second Tuesday of every month at 7.30pm, in Winlaton West End Club. Subscription fees are £4.50 per year, £3.00 per year for senior citizens and £1.00 for visitors. If you would like to join the group or come along to see what it’s all about, why not pop along to one of our monthly meetings…. we would love to see you there! !
