Support VCH Middlesex and London

VCH London is an exciting evolution of the longstanding VCH Middlesex project, which will now encompass the entirety of the capital. Led by Francis Boorman, the plan is to establish a VCH Trust to support and promote research into the history of contemporary London’s 32 boroughs. These boroughs take in all or part of the historic counties of Middlesex, Essex, Surrey and Kent, whose boundaries will continue to be recognised and differences celebrated, while embracing new approaches and re-examining the VCH canon.

VCH Middlesex covers the whole of this historic county, part of which came under the jurisdiction of London County Council from 1889 and all of which was absorbed by Greater London in 1965. You can read about the history of VCH Middlesex here. We have already published 13 volumes on London and Middlesex, and others on the parts of Greater London formerly in Essex and Surrey.

VCH London relies entirely on donations to continue its research. If you would like to help our work continue, you can donate here: https://cafdonate.cafonline.org/28318

Please note, VCH London is not yet a Trust of its own. Funds are currently deposited with the Institute of Historical Research (IHR) Trust. They will simply act as a ‘banker’ for these funds, which will be exclusively applied to VCH work on London.

If you have any questions about donating to VCH London or to the Victoria County History, please contact Francis Boorman, the VCH London editor by email, or Adam Chapman, VCH General Editor.
