What we do :
The Society holds regular meetings at St Cuthbert's Church (see Events), and assists with enquiries about Brislington and family connections. Members receive a regular newsletter. We would welcome any information, photographs etc you may have about Brislington to add to our knowledge and to record for future generations.
