Historical societies and history groups
Felbridge and District History Society
Small number of meetings, outings and exhibitions throughout the year.The Society's website may look simple but if you dig a little deeper it contains around 30 different papers on many different aspects of the area's history, some of which are a good read. I particularly enjoyed the story of the 1968 fireball horror and an eyewitness account of the reaction to this of Fluffy the Cat - it's on the weather page.
