Ronald A Price

We report sadly that Ron died in late September 2025 after a long period of poor health.

Ronald - sometimes Ron - joined The Survey of Lincoln in 2014 and volunteered for the about-to-be vacant position of Honorary Treasurer just before the 2016 AGM. He maintained this role until recently despite difficult heath. From the moment he joined Ron took an interest in the financial aspects of the booklet series informed by his own experiences as a small publisher. An obituary will appear in a future issue of The Enquirer.

What is The Survey of Lincoln?

We are a Lincoln-based group of people who are interested in the history of the city, especially its older buildings & other features left as visible traces of past activity. We research varied aspects of a different area or aspect of Lincoln each year, publishing our findings in illustrated affordable booklets.

Members receive a copy of The Survey of Lincoln’s newsletter The Lincoln Enquirer, twice a year. Members are invited to the AGM (June) and to Open Meetings where short talks relating to Lincoln’s history are presented & discounts are offered on The Survey of Lincoln’s publications.

This website contains most of our previous newsletters and details of our growing number of publications. It also holds material which we have not published elsewhere.
