Charms, Cures and Potions: Keeping Well in Old Sussex – a talk by Chris Hare
East Preston & Kingston Preservation Society, East Preston, Littlehampton
In an era when most people could not afford to go the doctor, and when the skills of doctors and the potency of their medicines were very limited, most people relied on folk cures and remedies. There were not only physical illnesses to contend with; many people believed in the malign presence of witchcraft and there were rituals and charms for dealing with this threat too. Some of these “old wives tales” probably did some good, others none at all, and some probably did more harm than good. Chris Hare, Worthing historian and author, explores this fascinating topic in his illustrated talk. Entry is free for EPKPS members. Visitors £3, payable on entry (cash only). All admissions subject to availability of seats on arrival.

Arundel Museum Talk: The Women’s Land Army in Sussex
Arundel Museum Manager, Arundel
We are delighted to be joined by Sussex historian and academic, Dr John Godfrey.
He has researched the Women’s Land Army extensively and will give us an insight into the set up of the Women’s Land Army during WW2.
War affected every section of society, not just the military. More food needed to be produced and, as men were recruited into the armed services, there were fewer hands to do the work. At the same time, farmers were being pressed to convert more land to arable from pasture. Women had always been involved in agriculture, horticulture and forestry, but now their contribution was critical…
Tickets £8 member / £10 non-member.
