The history of the English pub and the lost gardens of Hertfordshire are just two of the subjects making up the new 2003-2004 programme for the North Mymms Local History Society (NMLHS).

The society says all are welcome to attend its meetings and enquiries are welcome from anyone interested in local history and in particular that of North Mymms Parish and its locality.

According to the society, the role of the NMLHS is to stimulate interest by public talks, lectures, exhibitions and outings. Most of the Society's talks are illustrated with slides.

Meetings take place at the United Reformed Church in Brookmans Park on Tuesdays at 8pm. Visitors are welcome, tea and coffee is available at the meetings.
