A talk by Tom Wareham, hosted by the North West Kent Family History Society.
Tom Wareham was born in Portsmouth, the son of a naval officer, and grew up in Dorset where he acquired his love of sailing and naval history. He is Curator of Community and Maritime History at the Museum of Docklands. He now lives within sight of Shooters Hill and Oxleas Woods.
Most of us will know of Oxleas Woods today but Tom will tell us the history of this ancient woodland and the people who have lived in it. Virtually all of the former residents interacted with the woodland in some way and what we see today is part of an historical process.
Doors open 9.45am. The meeting / talk will start at 10.30am and end by 12.30pm.
The Talk venue has a large, free car park but it is shared with other users and can be busy at times.
No booking, just turn up.
