Formed in 1995 by John and Julie Belham-Payne. The Centre For Pagan Studies was put together as a resource facility for those wishing to learn for themselves more about the ancient religions of the world. The C.F.P.S. provides accurate information in lecture form from a number of eminent speakers on a variety of Pagan and esoteric based themes. Doreen Valiente was our Patron until her passing in 1999.
