The Society aims to promote interest and enjoyment of history, local and general, and to instigate research into local history.
The Society was launched in July 1987 when our principal guests were Cllr. Mrs. D Burton-Jenkins, at that time Mayor of Fareham, the Lady Mayoress, and the Rev. John Sturges JP.
A Local History course given by Veronica Ward in Stubbington over several years led to the publication of two booklets on 17th and mid 19th century Stubbington and led to discussions and a decision to form a History Society. This tradition of research and publication continues today.
We were fortunate to have as our first President, Professor R.B.Wernham, Emeritus Professor of Modern History, Oxford who supported the Society with great enthusiasm and additionally helped guide the activities of our small research group.
