Below is a list of upcoming SDFHS events.
Join us as we find out what Dorset residents, rich and poor, would have eaten and drank over the Christmas period. Would they have eaten turkey and furmity? Or have drunk Smoking Bishop? And would the paupers in the workhouse have been allowed a pint of beer? All will be revealed.
Sylvia Levi is an enthusiastic food historian with a particular interest in what our ancestors baked.
Simon Fowler is a professional researcher, writer and tutor who enjoys his beer.

We will be holding our annual Business Meeting to start. We’ll follow with your opportunity to share with other members, the highlights of your research over the last year (or so), the triumphs and failures, the new websites you’ve discovered, new contacts you’ve made, in fact anything however brief, that you like to share. It doesn’t have to be long, in fact short is good!
If you have any pictures contact Jane beforehand.
