30th Anniversary
Hugh RG Lidstone started the society in August 1978.

Lidstorian

 

 
The Lidstorian was first produced in 1978 and it was last issued in November 2002 having reached edition 64.

The Lidstorian was a bi-annual newsletter that we published and sent to all registered members of the Society. It contained news and articles of historical interest to all Lidstones and associated families, and had contributions from our 'cousins' in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the USA.

Copies of all the Lidstorians are kept in the archives at Ledstone Farm.

Examples of some of the many articles are:

  • Thomas Lidstone - Highwayman - 1761
  • Harold Lidstone of Prince Edward Is. dies aged 102
  • A Buffalo Hunter in the Family
  • The First Lidstone to visit Australia
  • Memories of the Lidstone Boat Yard, Dartmouth
Since the Lidstorian ceased an occasional newsltetter has been produced and emailed around the world to current members.
