Castleton Literary and Scientific Society

 

Welcome!

 

 

The Society was founded in 1894 as the Castleton Wesleyan Mutual

Improvement Society. Meetings were held in the church schoolroom

with a view to improving adult education, and by 1897 the Society

had become the Castleton Literary and Scientific Society reflecting

its widening appeal.

The Society moved to the Carnegie Library after its opening in 1906

providing lectures and discussion during the winter months. Meetings have continued every year except for a short period during World War 2.

Following closure of the Library in 2007, meetings are now held in

the Castleton Community Centre on Friday evenings at 7.00 pm

from October to March, together with a Christmas lunch and lunch

at the end of the lecture season.
