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 1st June 2026 when after our AGM we shall be launching the latest volume of our Basingstoke Histories series of local history books. Jennie Butler and Roger Ottewill will be giving a short overview of their Basingstoke History entitled “Six Notable Women of Late Victorian and Edwardian Basingstoke”.
