Society Meetings

 

Meetings are held biennially in the three areas of England most associated with Meade Falkner: Dorset, Oxfordshire and the North-East.

This usually means being based at hotels in Dorchester, Burford and Durham or Newcastle upon Tyne. We have visited Old Fleet Church, which plays such an important role in the story of Moonfleet; Burford Church, where Meade Falkner’s ashes are buried; and the cathedral and The Divinity House, Meade Falkner’s home, in Durham.
