Duston History Society

Founded in 2016, the society hosts guest speakers, members’ evenings and visits. It recently staged a successful exhibition of Duston Roman artefacts on loan from Northamptonshire Archaeology Society. Members are encouraged to research local topics, while wider society projects include a developing building plaque scheme and photographing Duston’s streets for future record.
