Polmont Old Parish Church
History Group
Are YOU interested in local and social history?
Then this is the group for you!
The History Group is one of the newer groups within the fellowship of the church in Polmont. Situated in the centre of Scotland, we have centuries of history “on our doorstep”, with the Antonine Wall so close to the old and new churches, the “big” houses that once were so much part of the area, the coming of the railways to Polmont, and so much more.
Talks are held monthly on the last Tuesday evening in the Church Hall at 7.30pm from September till April
If you have any ideas for speakers or topics for future meetings, please contact: Margaret Slater (714921) or Grace Hodge (715116)
