Society Outing to Charlecote Park and Stowe Gardens

This year outing will be to two National Trust properties – Charlecote Park, Warwickshire and Stowe, Buckinghamshire.

Charlecote Park, on the banks of the River Avon, has been a family home for more than eight centuries and contains collections that reflect the Lucy Family’s tastes and varied fortunes. The house has been altered over the centuries and the ground floor rooms have reopened this year after undergoing extensive renovation work during the past two years. Work is continuing on the first floor, which is currently closed. The extensive parkland was landscaped by Capability Brown in the mid-eighteenth century and today fallow deer and Jacob sheep roam the grounds.

Stowe Gardens will already be well known to many of our members and of course mid-summer is a wonderful time to see them. Our visit to Stowe at the end of June ties in neatly with a talk on 5 Jun in Kings Chapel Old Amersham by Gillian Mason of the National Trust about some of the statues in Stowe Gardens.

Further details including Itinerary and Booking Form will be published in the May Newsletter and circulated to members by email.
