Neil is a local person who has grown up in Marlborough.  From an early age he has had an interest in the Americans in Marlborough and over the years has been in touch with veterans.

He arranged for the refurbishment of the memorial stone on Marlborough Common which records the presence of an American Military Hospital there. This hospital catered for the wounded from the Normandy Beaches and only closed when the war in Europe moved.

Thursday, November 17, – 7:30 pm, St Peter’s Church

Guests are very welcome, £5 entry

(Covid safe provisions are in place) 

The Marlborough History Society supports local history projects and  presents talks by respected speakers on the third Thursday of every month (with the exception of  June, July, August and December) at 7:30 p.m. at St Peter’s Church.  We also organise occasional outings.
