PROUDLY CELEBRATING OUR 100TH ANNIVERSARY!

Welcome to the York House Society's website. The York House Society is Twickenham's oldest amenity society. It was formed in 1924 from the committee of councillors and local residents that was originally set up in 1922, to persuade the then Urban District Council to buy York House for conversion to a town hall.

Thursday 12 December 2024 York House Society's AGM and EGM, 7.30pm,
Terrace Room, York House, Richmond Road, Twickenham, TW1 3AA.

As a result of falling membership and difficulty in attracting new members, and following our Centenary celebration in July, the Committee has reluctantly decided to wind up the Society.
After a long and illustrious history with many contributions to Twickenham and the Borough of Richmond upon Thames, this is not a step that is taken lightly.
The meeting, unusually on a Thursday, will commence with the AGM and an illustrated talk on the Society's history. It will be followed by an EGM for the winding up.
For information, email the Hon Sec Susan Chappell at yorkhousesociety@gmail.com
