Citizenship in Kingston: Stories from the Archives
We have an online collection of historic documents from the archives of the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames. We have a huge number of documents dating back 800 years and these are just a few of them. They give us a glimpse of what it was like to be a citizen in Kingston in past centuries. Please visit our Citizenship in Kingston pages for stories from the archives (see link below).
