Church Street, The Hidden History - Second Walk
A fascinating insight about this much - loved area of Widcombe
The first event sold out very quickly and we hare delighted that the WA History Society have agreed to a second event. Tickets are only available to WA members.
Church Street is well-known for Widcombe Manor and St Thomas a Becket - but so much more lies half-hidden. Where was Mount Pleasant? Where was the New Inn and the Hare and Hounds? And Parson's Orchard? Did Sarah Fielding really live here? And who was a burkite, cut-purse knave? This talk and guided walk will explore what history lies hidden under the houses you see today and what traces still remain, who built them and who lived in them.
Tickets include tea and biscuits.
