About Us
The Basingstoke Archaeological and Historical Society (BAHS) was founded in 1971 to support learning and research into local archaeology and history. Over the years the society has carried out or supported excavations in the Basingstoke area; published local history books; and run visits and tours to places of interest.
The society meets every second Monday from September through to June for a lecture meeting featuring either an archaeological or historical subject.
Our Next Meeting
Our next lecture meeting will be on Monday December 9th at Church Cottage starting at 7:30, when we will be launching the latest book in the Basingstoke Histories Series, Mary Oliver’s “The Early Story of Old Basing” which describes the early history of Old Basing as uncovered by archaeological findings.
After the book launch we shall have a lecture by Paul McCulloch, Regional Manager, Pre-Construct Archaeology on the findings from the investigations at Sun Lane Alresford.
