Dr Graham Birrell, Historian

Award winning House Historian, History Researcher, Writer and Speaker

The History Bureau has four categories: I am a specialist house historian; I undertake history research commissions from clients and organisations; I am an established history performer and speaker, and last, but definitely not least, I write history books.

House History

I am a treble blue plaque winning historian - could an award winning story be waiting in your house too?

Have you ever wondered what the walls in your home might say if they could talk? House history can reveal the forgotten stories of the former residents of your home.

History Research Commissions

I am a highly experienced history researcher and have spent a great deal of time in a large number of archives and libraries. If you have a project that you need support with, please get in contact.

Performing & Speaking

My one-man history shows have been selling out theatres and auditoriums for the last two years. I also put on private history events for smaller groups.

Writer

I am currently writing a book on Johan Zoffany’s extravagant painting from the 1780s, ‘Colonel Mordaunt’s Cock Match’, which features East India Company officials and members of the court of Asaf-ud-daula, the Nawab of Oudh.
