History of the Abbey Fields
After an absence of some years, 2025 sees my return to giving talks on the history of the Abbey Fields.
There is currently one booking for this ever popular and now greatly updated presentation.
It lasts about 75 minutes and has over 400 images, including many new ones. It takes in the formation of the fields, a brief look at the days of the Abbey and then concentrates on the complicated acquisition of the fields, and subsequent development as Kenilworth’s park. It comes right up to date with the latest archaeological discoveries, and swimming pool development.
Currently arranged is:
The much delayed History of the Abbey Fields talk for Kenilworth U3A at the Methodist Church, Priory Road, is now provisionally re-arranged for 19th November 2026.
Copies of The Abbey Fields and other of my books will be available to purchase at discount prices.
