DARTMOUTH’S HISTORY: DARTMOUTH HISTORY RESEARCH GROUP
Come along to this session if you are interested in our fascinating local history.
Members of the group will be available to talk about their work, and their locally published books will be available to buy.
Their most recent publication is: When War Came to the Dart, by Gail Ham and Hilary Sunman, which combines the memories of local people with official records and other contemporary accounts to chart the impact as the communities of the Dart were immersed in war.
Dartmouth History Research Group have published 40 books and booklets on the area’s history. Books have been written on local figures including Thomas Newcomen, John Davis, John Flavel and William Veale; and on local places including Hawley’s Fortalice, The Castle Hotel, Bayards Cove and Slapton Sands.
