Grant to All Saints Church
The Society has pledged £3,000 towards the appeal for repairs to the fabric of All Saints Church.
The architects employed by All Saints recently carried out a quinquennial inspection which indicated that the building is in need of substantial repair to the roofs, rainwater goods and storm drainage; also the stonework to the external walls needs considerable attention, all at an estimated cost of £160,000.

Saxon Gold by Dr. David Symons
7.30 p.m. on Tuesday 3rd April 2012 at Routh Hall, Bromsgrove School.
In this, the 26th Bromsgrove Society Lecture, Dr. Symons provided all the latest news on the Staffordshire Hoard, the largest Anglo-Saxon treasure ever discovered.
The lecture was a considerable success being attended by approximately 300 people. Bromsgrove School once again helped us by allowing the use of Routh Hall and making car parking space available, serviced by their mini buses, so we are much indebted to them. A full report will be posted on this site shortly.
Society Response to Town Centre Plan
The Bromsgrove Society Response to Bromsgrove Town Centre Draft Area Action Plan
In January 2011 Bromsgrove District Council issued two documents under the Local Development framework. These were Draft Core Strategy 2 which covers the whole of the district council area and Bromsgrove Town Centre Draft Area Action Plan and asked for views to be expressed by April 2011.
The Bromsgrove Society issued a response which can be downloaded here. It was considered that the core strategy has been covered by us in 2009 and therefore our current comments are generally limited to the town centre.
The Bromsgrove Summer School 2011
The Bromsgrove Society held its first Bromsgrove Summer School on the 19-21 July at Housman Hall, former house of the poet A.E. Housman, and now part of Bromsgrove School. Over 70 students enrolled for the six courses, including Bromsgrove in the Industrial Revolution, Churches and Chapels of Worcestershire and Bromsgrove and the Housmans. The Summer School is to be an annual event, organised by the Bromsgrove Society in association with Bromsgrove School.
