Buckinghamshire Local History Network

The Buckinghamshire Local History Network – BLHN for short – has held its Conference and Local History Fair every year since 2000.

BLHN is a collaboration between the Bucks Archaeological Society, which has the county-wide membership and capacity to run a big conference, and the historic county’s local history, archaeology and heritage societies, which provide speakers, local research and displays alongside the Conference in the Local History Fair. The historic county includes Milton Keynes.

The conference and fair is held every Autumn, traditionally in different towns around the county, and has covered a wide range of Buckinghamshire subjects:

  • 2025: Fire! Fire! Bucks on fire!
  • 2024: Food for thought ‒Exploring Buckinghamshire’s agricultural past
  • 2023: Putting our local heritage on the map
  • 2022: The cottage industries of Buckinghamshire
  • 2021: Shopping in Buckinghamshire ‒ from medieval market places to modern retail parks
  • 2020: Wellers, Wethereds, Wheelers and the ABC ‒ Buckinghamshire brewers through three centuries
  • 2019: Social Housing in Buckinghamshire ‒ from almshouses to Right-to-Buy

The subject of THIS YEAR’S 2026 CONFERENCE will be:

Political change in Buckinghamshire ‒ from civil war to the suffragettes

with Levellers, Rotten Boroughs, corrupt electioneering and the Great Pilgrimage.

This year’s conference and local history fair will be held on Saturday 26 September, 10am-4.30pm
in Beaconsfield at the National Film and Television School.
