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 3rd February 2025 when Dr Sophia Adams of the British Museum will talk about the St Mary Bourne hoard of Horse Bits that was recently acquired by the Hampshire Cultural Trust.
Please note that this lecture will be virtual, held over Teams. BAHS members will receive a link for the meeting by email. If you are not a BAHS member and would like to join please contact us via info@bahsoc.org.uk
