Saturday May 2nd Coffee Morning and Talk: Monkton: Hidden History

Our Saturday Coffee Morning and Talk marked the end of our current programme — we now take our usual summer break, returning in October. Our volunteers, however, continue their invaluable work at Pembroke Museum, located on the first floor of Pembroke Town Hall and open weekdays 10–3 (10–1 on Fridays). Saturday’s talk was given by Society Chairman, Linda Asman, who spoke on Monkton: Hidden History. Since the Society’s formation in 2010, an enormous amount of research has been devoted to uncovering Monkton’s past. Our very first publication was the leaflet Monkton: A Sense of Place, followed by the ambitious HLF﷓funded Through My Eyes: A Community History of Pembroke and Monkton — a book and DVD of digital stories created from the memories of 45 contributors. More recently we published Monkton: Hidden History, a major work that proved so popular it is now out of print. Unfortunately, current printing costs make a reprint impossible, but the full book is available to read online at www.pembrokeandmonktonhistory.org.uk. Monkton has a rich and varied history, and we are proud that our Society has been able to record, preserve, and share so much of it for future generations
