The Society was founded in 1965 to promote an awareness of, and interest in, the history of Pontefract and District.
In addition to lectures, we organise visits to places of historic interest for members, and the society encourages and aids research as well as taking an active interest in matters of conservation.
The lecture programme for 2012-13 is available here.
