The Society is a local history society, providing:
LECTURES, EXCURSIONS, EXHIBITIONS, PUBLICATIONS,
and access to the EVENTS of other historical and archæological societies

Meetings are held in the St. James' Community Centre, Wellway, Morpeth and begin at 7.15pm. Visitors and new members always welcome.

We meet on the last Friday of:
September, October, November, January, February, March (subject to change to avoid Good Friday) and April (AGM) 

We are supporters of a long campaign to establish a Museum in this lovely town which is full of interesting history and stories. 

Morpeth Antiquarian Society is planning a series of booklets about the history of Morpeth. The first three will be reprints of works already published by members of the Society. 

The first part of this booklet is a reprint of a publication by one of our founder members, the late Roland Bibby. It commemorated the Society's exhibition in 1965, when the town's hutch was on show, together with the seven guild boxes. The second part, the Addendum, first appeared in the author's 1995 newspaper column 'By Font and Wansbeck' in the Morpeth Herald

The original texts have been reproduced substantially, with some of the original illustrations and some new ones. The Society was fortunate that the author was able to revise and add to the original material, before he died.

The Morpeth Antiquarian Society was founded in 1946, and is a registered charity (No. 507640).

The aims of the Society are to stimulate public interest in Northumberland, and especially in Morpeth, to promote high standards of planning and architecture in the area; to secure the preservation, protection, development and improvement of features of historic or public interest in the area; to support the annual Morpeth Northumbrian Gathering which is organised by a Standing Committee of the Society, and to support other cultural events.

Monthly lectures are held during the winter months and visits to places of historic interest take place in the summer.
