Welcome

Welcome to the Windsor Local History Group, which is passionate about uncovering and sharing the stories that make this area unique.

Nestled on the banks of the River Thames, just 25 miles from central London, Windsor is a town steeped in history, heritage, and royal tradition. Located in the heart of Royal Berkshire, it has long captivated historians and visitors alike.

Windsor is not only home to the British monarchy but is also surrounded by areas of exceptional historical and archaeological significance — including Eton, Old Windsor, and beyond. Many of its past and present residents have helped shape both the local community and the nation.

As a Group, we:

• Research the rich and diverse past of Windsor and the surrounding area.
• Publish articles, magazines, and books, give talks, and share discoveries online.
• Host regular meetings and events for history lovers of all backgrounds.

Whether you’re a local, a researcher, or simply curious about the area, we’d love for you to join us. Come explore Windsor’s past with us — and help bring its history to life.

An Invaluable Source of Information

For over 40 years, the Group has produced a magazine called Windlesora. This contains a plethora of interesting articles about local buildings, people and events. Many of these are now online and are searchable. An invaluable resource for historians, students and the general public alike.
