The Ridings of Yorkshire Society

The Ridings of Yorkshire Society is hosting its fourth annual conference this summer at Scarborough Library, on Friday 6th June 2025. The group is dedicated to the study and research of Yorkshire’s past and aims to hold a multidisciplinary conference. We will be having a mix of academic and non-academic speakers with papers spanning from ancient history to the 20th century across the Yorkshire region, and covering fields such as history, literature, and archaeology.
 
We will also be having two exciting keynote speakers: 
Dr David Pendleton, a historian whose research focuses on sport, leisure and maritime history. 
Professor Jo Fletcher, an Egyptologist and accomplished scholar, researcher and archaeologist whose work encompasses Egypt, the ancient Near East, Greece and Rome.
