History
Founded in 1828 by A J Kempe (1785?-1846) and Thomas Crofton Croker (1798-1854), the Society was a convivial club composed of members of the Society of Antiquaries of London. It was dedicated to archaeology and to 'sciences comical and gastronomical'. Other members included Robert Lemon (1779-1835), William Jerdan (1782-1869), John Bowyer Nichols (1779-1863), John Bruce (1802-1869), and Samuel Cowper Brown, MRCS, 'physician in ordinary to the Society'.
