History is better when shared.
Welcome to the EHA
Founded in 1906, the Historical Association has inspired people to discover, explore and share history for over a century. As the Ealing branch, we’re proud to bring that mission to our local community through engaging talks, guided visits and a welcoming programme of events.
From ancient civilisations to contemporary history, our expert speakers explore stories from Britain and across the world. Whether you’re a lifelong history enthusiast or simply curious about the past, you’ll find a friendly community waiting to welcome you.
OUR NEXT TALK
Dr. Philip Mansel
Louis XIV, Britain and the Battle for Europe: From Ireland to Ukraine
Join historian and author Dr Philip Mansel as he explores Britain’s pivotal role in the struggle to prevent Louis XIV from dominating Europe. Discover how dynastic politics, diplomacy and warfare shaped the balance of power, as William III and the Duke of Marlborough worked to maintain Britain’s alliances with the Netherlands and the Holy Roman Empire.
Drawing on the lives and rivalries of some of the most influential figures of the age, this lecture examines the political, diplomatic and cultural forces that shaped Europe and established Britain’s central role in its affairs. We hope you’ll join us.
