Join archaeologist Peter Liddle on a walk around Launde Abbey, a very fine Jacobean mansion on the site of, and incorporating parts of, a medieval Augustinian Priory. The priory was granted to Henry VIII’s minister, Thomas Cromwell, in 1540 and was turned into a family home by his widow and son. Peter will be sharing the results of recent research into the site.
Launde does very fine lunches, which need to be booked on 01572 717254. Coffee or light lunches can be catered for without booking. Why not make a day of it and take a guided walk around Burrough Hill too, see below.
