  • Heraldry in Aldermaston Church: by Mike Wall, 2007

    Thank you Peter for this page. I have found a couple of coats of arms here with which I was not familiar. Still a few to identify.

  • Aldermaston Court Drama Society

    If I find any more Aldermaston Dramatic Society memorabilia, I’ll let you know. I have seen some production photos that my dad had and I think there are some tickets and programmes around. My father had an Adana printing press and printed tickets and programmes for many events and must have done some of the Dramatic Society ones

  • Aldermaston Court Drama Society

    Hi Catherine,

    Many thanks for your note about your father Peter Holmes and his involvement with AEI Dramatic Society. Our knowledge of this Society is limited and comes from a couple of programmes found on eBay a few years ago. Would you have any more information that we could use? I would be really interested as I founded the Aldermaston Players in 1993 and the history of drama in Aldermaston is fascinating.

    Regards

    Chris Boott
    Vice Chair – Aldermaston History Group
