At the AGM in February 2019 the Dereham Antiquarian Society decided to change its name to the Dereham Heritage Trust. This was to give the organisation a more up to date image relevant to the world in which we now live, while also acknowledging that the conservation of the town’s heritage, in all its forms, is a key part of our activities.
Would you like to help us keep the museum open?
We urgently need more volunteers to help us preserve and interpret the town's heritage, if you are interested please email
ken-hawkins@tiscali.co.uk .
Please come and join us, membership of the Trust is open to all.
