VISITS
Each season visits are arranged to places of interest which are usually linked with our programme of lectures:-
Burton Agnes, Yorkshire - July 2006
Situated near Driffield, this is an historic Elizabethan House with fine
furniture, superb paintings and magnificent gardens.
THE STATE APARTMENTS included the 80th Anniversary Exhibition of the Queen’s gowns and jewellery. Meticulous organisation by our visits organiser resulted in a fabulous day. The Palace organisation was faultless and the gowns and jewellery were incredibly beautiful.
Highly recommended.
The Queen's Gallery: October 2007
The Art Of Italy In The Royal Collection
Ancient China’s Terracotta Army.
DAYS OF SPECIAL INTEREST
Silver and Social Custom led by Ian Pickford: April 2007
A return visit is being planned during the 2008-09 season to explore other aspects of the subject.
