Bremhill’s history is replete with the stories of its people. There are the eccentrics, the villains, those who suffered or were oppressed; and those who stood up to injustice or broke the conventions of their time. Some of the narratives may challenge what we think about the past and the history of the community. This talk will illuminate some of the more surprising stories and provide an update on the Bremhill parish history book.
