WALKS AND VISITS 2018
Sunday 14th January eleven members and a dog drove up the Slough valley to Michaelchurch Escley, where we explored the church, guided by Alan Picton and churchwarden Anthony Egremont Lee. Next Alan took us a short walk to Michaelchurch Court, a splendid mansion built over many centuries from medieval to Victorian times, and restored in recent years.
Selected pictures can be viewed on our Flickr site.
Sunday 11th February – a walk in wintry weather in the area of Newton led by Gill Broadhead.
Sunday 11th March - Seven members and a dog toured Hereford city centre led by Alan Picton, taking time to view the many historic buildings, including town houses, pubs, bridges and the site of the castle. View pictures on our Flickr site.
Sunday 8th April - Thirteen members and guests, plus our guide Hugo Mason, accompanied by two dogs, visited the unusual "arts and crafts" style church at Brockhampton (by Ross). We admired many of the fine artistic details as well as the blend of traditional design, craftsman techniques and the unusual thatched roof. See the pictures on our Flickr site.
