See the Blog at: http://blog.katherineswynfordsociety.org.uk/blog The aims of the Society are to celebrate
and investigate the life and times of Katherine de Roet, later Lady Swynford, then The Duchess of Lancaster and her
ancestors, contemporaries and descendants. The Society, which is run entirely by volunteers, publishes
a journal - The Katherine Wheel - and organizes
a series of occasional indoor lectures in the winter and outdoor visits in the summer
months. It also encourages and supports research projects whose purpose is to investigate various
locations and persons associated with Lady Katherine. These may be carried
out by members of the Society or students of History in various educational establishments.
On this
website you will find: - a brief summary biography of Lady Katherine's life,
- information on how to become a member of the Society
- coming soon, there will be a dedicated members only area of
the site with PDF copies of our journal The Katherine
Wheel and other content which will be developed progressively.
- committee member and contact details for the Society
