Church Street, The Hidden History - SOLD OUT
Fascinating insight about this much loved area of Widcombe.
Sorry this event has sold out.
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.
Children and well-behaved dogs are very welcome but they must be supervised by the ticket holder. Unfortunately, dogs won't be allowed inside the church as they have just installed new carpets.
Tickets include tea and biscuits.
