Architecture
Group Leader: Luke Pickering
Objectives of the Group
We are a large and friendly Group, who are interested in the buildings and settlements of the local area. We arrange talks in the winter months and trips to towns, villages and individual buildings once the weather gets warmer. We have a varied programme which includes the ancient and modern, usually with knowledgeable local guides. Our tours often finish in the local pub or teashop!
We meet on the third Thursday of the month, generally at 10.30am. Some of our visits do have limited numbers and we have Booking Forms at the General Meetings where you can put your name down. If you have any questions, please phone Luke on 07774 251197.
See below for photos taken at some of our events, and reports are accessible.

WELTON VILLAGE HALL - TALK BY VIC HUGHES - LINCOLN CASTLE
Our first meeting of 2026 will take place in the warmth and comfort of the Welton Room.
Following his excellent talk to us last year about the city of Lincoln, we are delighted that celebrated local historian, Vic Hughes, is returning to talk to us this time about Lincoln Castle. You will be entertained and enlightened!
We will be serving tea/coffee and biscuits on arrival. A charge of £4 per member will be payable. Please put your name and phone number on the Booking Form, to secure your place at what will be a great way to start the New Year. The Form will be on the Architecture Group’s table in the Welton Room at the December and January General Meetings.
