The Simon de Montfort Society is a
heritage and educational charity, registered in the UK, affiliated to
the Battlefields Trust and a member of the Three Battles Consortium.
The Society's programme includes regular monthly lecture meetings with
an historical theme, visits to sites of particular historical interest,
social events, an annual day-school and our traditional wreath-laying
ceremony, service and battlefield walk on the weekend nearest to the
anniversary of Earl Simon's death at the Battle of Evesham.
We publish "The Lion"
magazine, our newsletter, three
times a year. We also publish books and leaflets, including Dr Patrick Rooke's
recent biography of Simon de Montfort.
We seek to protect and preserve
the site of the Battle of Evesham and other places connected with Simon
de Montfort. We expand education resources, making them available
to students of all ages and to encourage further research into the
thirteenth century, and arrange visits to places with medieval
connections. In December each year we hold a St Nicholas Supper.
