About the Society

Discovering & preserving Chester’s past

Founded to encourage the study of the archaeology and history of Chester and its region, the Society brings together members with a shared curiosity about the city’s Roman, medieval, and modern past.

We publish original research in our Journal, run a programme of talks and excavations, and campaign to protect the historic fabric of the city for future generations.
