Occasional Papers – The Dugdale Society

The Society also publishes Occasional papers, based on those lectures delivered by invited speakers at its Annual General Meetings which are thought to merit publication. Fifty of these have so far appeared, each highlighting a particular episode or topic in Warwickshire’s history and ranging in date from the Anglo-Saxon period to the 20th century.

Occasional Papers still available are listed below with their prices shown against each title. Click here to see how to order. Details of any more recent publications can be obtained by contacting the Secretary. We may have some second hand copies of titles marked as “Out of Print”, please ask.
