As you may expect, the Milford on Sea Historical Record Society (MOSHRS) play a pivotal role in researching and documenting all aspects of the village history.
However, for members at just £10 annually, there are lots of interesting talks taking place at the meetings in All Saints' Church Hall during the year.
Each meeting contains an interesting historical talk and the opportunity to meet people from across the village. There is also an annual visit to a place of interest.
At the last meeting, which was a full house, there was a powerful MOSHRS Talk, Armada On Our Shores, by Philip St. Lawrence.
MOSHRS have the following events coming up soon:
