Whilst the Covid pandemic has curtailed our usual programme of talks, the Society has decided to host some talks on Zoom.
Our first talk was on Monday 9th November 2020 at 7.30 pm given by Hannah Kingsbury and entitled 'The Westmorland Dales Landscape Partnership Scheme'. You can find out more details by clicking here.
We currently plan to hold another online Zoom talk in February 2021 to be given by Alan Cleaver, entitled 'Corpse Roads'. Further details on the exact date and time will be posted here in January 2021. If are unsure about using Zoom do not worry we can guide you through what you need to do and could arrange a ‘dummy run’ prior to the event. Please do ask.
We have also been busy as a committee during the lockdown and have produced a newsletter highlighting some of the things we have achieved and a few thoughts on the future. You can find out more details by clicking here and here.

Who we are

Kirkby Lonsdale has an extremely distinguished architectural quality and practically the whole town centre is now a Conservation Area.
The Society's remit covers Kirkby Lonsdale and its wider Rainbow parish, which includes Barbon, Casterton, Hutton Roof, Lupton, Mansergh, Middleton and Preston Patrick.
