FIND out about ‘The Manor of Saddleworth, 1200-1834’ at an illustrated talk at Saddleworth Museum.

The admission fee seems slightly pointless to me, unless it’s directed at guests of paid up members.
Or is just Saddleworth Museum trying to take their cut. It hardly seems worth the trouble and especially as these local history groups, (like many other such, “groups,”) are as often as much a asocial club for friends who share a common interest as anything else ?
Nonetheless these groups often do interesting, admirable and sometimes useful research.
Interesting enough that I’ve occasionally been tempted to attend one of these advertised meeting out of simple curiosity; although the practical constraints of my circumstances probably make that unlikely.
