SOCIETY

Welcome to the EEHAS website

Epsom & Ewell History & Archaeology Society (formerly Nonsuch Antiquarian Society) is the local history, archaeology and conservation society for the Epsom and Ewell area of Surrey. It was founded in 1960 by people who had recently taken part in a major excavation of Henry VIII's Nonsuch Palace in Ewell. Its aims are to encourage interest in the archaeology and history of the area and to ensure that local buildings and objects of historical significance are preserved.

By joining us you will learn more about the history of our area and have the satisfaction of contributing towards its protection.

What we do

The Society meets on the first Wednesday of each month in St Mary's Church Hall, London Road, Ewell for illustrated talks on archaeological and historical subjects. Meetings begin at 8.00 pm. Current programme
