Welcome to the Western Australia Branch

of the

Richard III Society

Originally named the Fellowship of the White Boar, the Society was founded in 1924 by S. Saxon Barton FSA (Scot), a Liverpool surgeon. With the advent of the Second World War, its activities declined, but it was reconstituted in 1956 with a wider membership. The name was changed to the Richard III Society in 1959, and in 1980 the honour of Royal patronage was bestowed by HRH The Duke of Gloucester.

Today the Society is active in many fields and has more than 4,000 members worldwide.

The first ever meeting of the Western Australian group was held at the Parmelia Hotel on Saturday 1st March 1986 and was attended by 8 people. The society now has approximately 16 members and meet on the fourth Saturday of each month (excluding December) at the Belmont Sports and Recreation Centre. See our membership page for more details.

The group was awarded Branch status in 1988.
