In addition to the membership meetings, other special events are organised from time-to-time. Please see the special events and dates listed below.
Tour of Luddesdown Court April 2023
Members of the History Group enjoyed a private tour of Luddesdown Court. The Court – a manor house – is thought to have been owned by William the Conqueror’s half-brother, Odo. Some say it is the oldest continuously occupied home in England, dating from the 11th Century with very interesting features from Saxon, Norman, Tudor, Jacobean and even later periods. Grade I listed (only 2.5% of buildings in the country), it also has 23 acres of formal gardens, a Great Hall, and a minstrel’s gallery.
