Milford on Sea Historical Record Society has been awarded a HAT grant of £500 towards the publication ‘All the Queen’s Men’
This prolific and thriving local history society has been in existence for some 115 years.

The book is expected to be published in November 2026
2026 marks the 400th anniversary of Queen’s College receiving the advowson (right to appoint the vicar) of Milford from Charles I. Research for the book has benefitted from the Society’s project ‘Local History Lives’
The book will be hard back with maps and illustrations in colour, in A4 portrait format and will be published in November 2026
