Bentham Friends Essay Society.

Hide Profile

This Society was formed in August 1900 and met in the schoolroom at the Friends Meeting House in High Bentham or in members' homes. Its first secretary was R Charles Ford and meetings were held once a month at which essays and talks were presented by members and attenders of Bentham Meeting. The emphasis of the gatherings gradually changed to include more musical and social activities. The Society was active until at least 1937.
