About the event

Cove through time – a talk by local historian, Jo Gosney
Discover the rich and often overlooked history of Cove, in this engaging free talk by local historian and author Jo Gosney. Drawing from her extensive research and publications, Jo will guide you through Cove’s transformation - from a rural hamlet to a thriving part of modern Rushmoor.

First recorded in 880 in the Will of King Alfred, Cove’s story stretches back over a thousand years. In 976, King Edgar gifted the land around Duddas Brook (now Cove Brook) to the monks of Winchester - marking the area’s early spiritual and agricultural significance. Whether you're a lifelong resident or new to the area, this talk offers a fascinating glimpse into the roots of Farnborough’s heritage.

Highlights…

• The origins of Cove and it’s early occupations
• The impact aviation on local life
• Stories of families, buildings and community life
• Rare photographs and insights from Jo’s personal archive

This September, dive into centuries of local history as the Rushmoor Heritage Festival brings Aldershot and Farnborough’s remarkable past to life. From hidden gems to proud traditions, the area transforms into a living storybook—with 40 events to explore.
