- The Early Avon Valley Copper and Brass Industry 1690 to 1740
To be held on October 12th
Tony Coverdale’s talk will share fascinating insights about the development of once commonplace copper and brass mills in the Avon valley from 1690 and how these local mills became key parts in a global trade system. The story starts with the experimental coal-fired smelting of Cornish copper ores on the banks of the Avon using Bristol coal and culminates with a sophisticated multi-site complex of mills and a trading system delivering products across Britain, Africa and North America.
The event will be held at the St. Stephen’s Centre (St. Stephen’s Church undercroft), Lansdown Road, Bath, BA1 5SX.
Doors open at 7:00m for serving wine and soft drinks, Tony will start at 7.30 and finish will be around 8:30 pm.
Tickets are £12.50, including a glass of wine are available in advance and on the door.
The event is being organised by the St Stephens Millennium Green Trust with all profits from the event going to the upkeep of the Green.

- 500 people visit Lansdown Open Gardens
On Sunday 7th June six local gardens were opened by their owners in support of Lansdown Open Gardens. The gardens were located in the Primrose Hill, Sion Hill and Richmond Hill areas of Bath. Despite continuous rain the previous day and heavy downpours the following day, the rain held off on Sunday enabling over 500 people to enjoy a fabulous day out. Central to this annual event were the gardens which offered a rich variety of styles, aspects, outlooks, horticultural interest but also fun and humour with one garden ornament representing a naughty spirit stealing plants.
To accompany visits to the gardens was a very busy plant sale on St Stephen’s Millennium Green. The plants were grown locally and donated by residents.
Another, well known part of the day were tea and cakes. 40 delicious homemade cakes were donated by local residents to ensure a glorious spread from ever-popular Victoria sponge cakes to Marmalade and Ricotta, Orange and Almond, Coffee, Carrot and Walnut cakes
The event was coordinated with St Stephens’ Church’s which has a week of celebration and thanksgiving from 7th to 14th June marking the retirement of the much-loved Reverent Phillip Hawthorn after 16 years in the parish.
Lansdown Open Gardens is organised entirely by local volunteers. On Monday a BBQ was held to thank volunteers and garden owners for their contributions for making the day such a success and raising £6000. The funds go towards the maintenance of the St Stephen’s Millennium Green which is a delightful garden open to all.
