HERTFORDSHIRE ASSOCIATION FOR LOCAL HISTORY AWARDS

Accompanied by SLHS Co-Chair, David Royle, Theo van de Bilt, founder member of the
Sawbridgeworth Local History Society (SLHS), former Chairman, member, writer, and
researcher, received a well-deserved award on 18 May at the Hertfordshire Association of
Local History AGM in Potters Bar for services to local history. The citation highlighted his
contribution before and after the formation of SLHS in 2016 and his ongoing involvement in
writing articles and books about our local history, most recently the extremely popular High
Wych History in Pictures.
The AGM also featured an entertaining talk about the battle of Barnet 1471 by the Curator at
Barnet Museum
