Originally named The Fellowship of the White Boar, the Society was founded in 1924 by S. Saxon Barton FSA (Scot), a Liverpool surgeon, and a small group of his friends. 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 membership approaching 3,500 worldwide.
