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 on the first Monday of the month 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 12th May 2025 when Alan Turton, a long standing member, military historian, and former custodian of Basing House will be giving a lecture on the English Civil war in Hampshire.
