WELCOME TO THE RICHMOND LOCAL HISTORY SOCIETY |
Our Society explores the history of Richmond, Kew, Petersham and Ham and the people who have lived here.
Each of these areas has a rich tapestry of history that includes royal connections, significant architectural developments, and a deep cultural heritage. Exploring their history offers an insight into the broader historical narrative of England, especially in terms of royal influence, horticultural advancements, and architectural heritage.
What we offer:
-
- Evening talks: Usually held on the second Monday of each month, our evening talks feature expert speakers who delve into various historical topics related to our area.
- Guided walks and visits: Explore the historical sites and hidden gems of Richmond, Kew, Petersham, and Ham with our organised walks and visits.
- Richmond History journal: Our award-winning journal offers in-depth articles and research on local history.
- Books: We publish a range of books on topics of local interest, providing valuable insights and detailed accounts of our area’s past.
