The Amesbury Society was formed in 1975 by a group of local people inspired by an exhibition
about Amesbury's history, displayed in the towns' library. The Society, which is registered
with the Civic Trust, holds a programme of public meetings and lectures during winter months;
during the summer, field trips and outings to sites of historical and environmental interest.
It was a major contributor to the Amesbury Millennium celebrations in 1979. The Society has
published an account of the towns' history: "AMESBURY history and description of a South Wiltshire
town", now in its second edition (sold out), and an illustrated guide to the town, with suggested walks: "In
and Around Amesbury", now in its third edition. Members are kept in touch with Society activities
via a periodical newsletter, which also features items of local interest.
The aims of the Amesbury Society are:
to secure the conservation of features of historic and public interest
to try to promote high standards of planning and architecture
to stimulate interest in the town and its environment
Membership is open to ALL.
