10.35am ‘Mining Maps and Documents for Evidence’: Sally Jenkinson of Surrey History Centre and David Young of Surrey Archaeological Society will talk about the Surrey Tithe Records Project and how the output can be searched.
Dr Carenza Lewis, well known from television in programmes such as Time Team and more recently Michael Woods’ series on Kidworth, has agreed to give the keynote presentation at a joint meeting of the Medieval Studies Forum and the Villages Study Group on Saturday 12th March 2011.
The genesis of this Group was the Society's Millennium Project and has so far led to the publication of studies on Wimbledon (2000, by the Wimbledon Society), Shere (2001), Thorpe (2002) and Ewell (2004). Work is now well advanced on bringing the studies on Gomshall (including Peaslake and Ewhurst) and on Old Woking towards publication. New evidence has recently come to light regarding the development of Cranleigh and Cobham and work continues in many other villages.
