The History of Yeomanry House

A Talk by Katie Amos

Many of us will have visited Yeomanry at some point over the years – to register a birth or death or to attend a wedding. Best known as the former home of the Berkshire Register Office (and Berkshire FHS), but what of its past, and where does its name come from? From its origins on the fringes of the town, to polite society, a school, military links and weddings, this house has seen it all. Discover its history and some of the families associated with it.

2.30 - 3.45pm

This talk is being held at our new external venue for talks - Abbey Baptist Church, Abbey Square, Reading RG1 3BE. The venue has disabled access and a disabled toilet. 

Tea/coffee and biscuits will be available (included in the price). Pre-booking is preferred, but you can also pay at the door, if there are spaces available.
