The Society is thrilled that two of our members have won national awards from the
British Association for Local History (BALH).
Former Chairman and long term member of the History Society, Ron Beard, has won an Award for Personal Achievement in Local History in recognition of his many years of contribution to our knowledge of the history of the Dean.
And Cherry Lewis has won the best ‘long article’ category in the 2017 BALH Publications Awards for her article in the 2016 issue of The New Regard on David Mushet and his map.
The Awards will be presented at a ceremony on Local History Day on Saturday 3 June in London.
Congratulations to both Ron and Cherry!
