100 years of Letchworth Educational Settlement, an illustrated talk by Dr Kate Thompson

This is a Letchworth Garden City Society event.

Opened in May 1920, it celebrated its centenary during the first Covid lockdown when its future was in jeopardy. Thanks to supporters, funds were raised to ensure the Settlement’s survival and this illustrated talk will describe how it grew and changed with the times, serving not only the garden city but surrounding towns and villages.

Kate Thompson was County Archivist of Hertfordshire 1990–1999 and has lived in Letchworth since 1992. The then Chairman of Letchworth Settlement, Pam Burn, asked her to write its history, published in 2020.

This talk will take place in the Brunt Room, Letchworth Settlement, 229 Nevells Road SG6 4UB , Monday 24th March 2025 at 7.30pm.

All are welcome, no booking required; entry is £4 for LGCS and LALG members, otherwise £5, exact cash, please. (You may join LGCS at the door to benefit from the reduced rate.)
