Meetings are held on the third Tuesday of each month, from September to April at St Martins Church Hall, High Street, Ruislip.
Visitors are welcome (£3 admission). Meetings start promptly at 8 pm, so you are advised to arrive at least 5 minutes before.
We aim to promote the conservation of Ruislip’s heritage and to bring the history of this area to life. Join us today and help conserve our heritage for tomorrow!
Situated in Middlesex, on the edge of the Greater London area also known as Metroland, Ruislip, Northwood and Eastcote together form the ancient 11th century parish of Ruislip. Ruislip Parish map, 1866
On our news and events page you will find news of the society’s activities and items of topical local information.
We meet throughout Autumn and Winter to listen to talks whose subjects range from very local history to topics about London and wider historical interest. In Summer we organise outings including walks and visits.
We welcome new members including corresponding members who may not be able to attend meetings regularly – you will receive our annual journal by post.
In common with many other organisations, our meetings schedule was disrupted during 2020-21. Research on how earlier pandemics and lockdowns affected us all can be read in “We’ve been here before”.
