Coming Soon, Events for your Diary
Fables of Witchcraft – Anthony Smith.
Last Indoor Meeting Until September
Anthony is curator of the Priest House, West Hoathly. He has a fund of knowledge of plants and herbs that have been the source of traditional medication. The renewed interest in such plants for medicinal use makes a fascinating study of this aspect of the past.
