UNTIL Friday 17 May

An evening of heritage images and nostalgia
"Woolverstone: through maps, pictures, photographs and film"
A talk with Simon Pearce
Friday 17th May, 2024 @ 7:30
The evening will explore vintage maps of the village showing how the landscape changed over the period of stewardship under the Berners' family. There will also be a huge selection of heritage pictures and photographs, many coming from private collections and not seen in public before.
The centrepiece of the evening is a section from a reel of cine film taken just before the Woolverstone Hall Estate was sold in 1937.
It is a bit faded, a bit jerky but nevertheless a stunning piece of history. The film will take you on a tour around the Woolverstone Hall Estate: the walled garden, the dairy, the formal gardens, Holbrook ponds, even a drive along the near 2-mile carriageway from Freston Lodge to St Michael's.
This is the last event in a series of events to mark the 250th anniversary of William Berners purchasing the Woolverstone Park estate on Friday 13th August 1773.
7:30 pm in Berners Hall, Main Road, Woolverstone. IP9 1AR
