WELCOME to the website for the Yelverton & District Local History Society.

2025

Thank you to everyone who has been supporting our events in 2024. Our thoughts now turn to the new programme for 2025 and this is now at the planning stage. We always welcome suggestions from members, so if anyone has ideas for topics and or speakers, please email them to the Chairman.

MEMBERSHIPS 2025 will so0n be open…

MEMBERSHIP FEES:

Forms are also available at our talks and fees for 2025 are only £10 per member which entitles you to free entry to all our events. Donations and new members always welcomed.

The Society was formed over forty years ago, in 1982, by a group of people who believed there was a need to study the fascinating history of the villages nestling on the Yelverton side of Dartmoor, and to make an effort to record as much of that history as possible while the places existed free of development and the people remembered the past.

Each month (except December) we invite a speaker to present a talk on their own specialist subject. During the Summer months, we run outdoor events with a visit to a place or location of interest for a tour or guided walk. Details on membership etc are on the ‘About’ page.
