Dartford Branch Talk: The History of Oxleas Woods  with Tom Wareham

Dartford Branch

Tom Wareham was born in Portsmouth, the son of a naval officer, and grew up in Dorset where he acquired his love of sailing and naval history. He is Curator of Community and Maritime History at the Museum of Docklands. He now lives within sight of Shooters Hill and Oxleas Woods.

Most of us will know of Oxleas Woods today but Tom will tell us the history of this ancient woodland and the people who have lived in it. Virtually all of the former residents interacted with the woodland in some way and what we see today is part of an historical process.

Doors open 9.45am. The meeting / talk will start at 10.30am and end by 12.30pm. 

The Talk venue has a large, free car park but it is shared with other users and can be busy at times.

No booking, just turn up.

The Society is a registered charity and membership fees and donations are an important part of our income. The Talk is free to members but guests and visitors are asked to make a donation towards hall hire and speaker's fee. There will be a donations box at the venue.

But Society membership only costs £10 a year (£12 joint members) https://www.nwkfhs.org.uk/about/membership/our-membership
