Dereham Heritage Trust

Picture
From academic beginnings in 1953, the Dereham Heritage Trust (formerly the Dereham Antiquarian Society) is now a friendly group of people who have a shared interest in the history of Dereham and the surrounding areas.

Guest speakers are invited each month to give talks at Trinity Methodist Church hall in Theatre Street, Dereham. These meetings are normally held on the second Wednesday each month at 7.30 p.m. Visitors are always welcome with a fee of £3 payable on the door.

See the menu on the left hand side for news and talks listing.

The Trust manages Bishop Bonner’s Cottage Museum. Members act as volunteer stewards in the Museum and manage the archive collection. It  was founded in 1953 by Canon Noel Boston and Dr Eric Puddy and is a registered  charity (No.1187140).

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.
