Thank you for your interest, unfortunately this event is sold out.
For the first of our Winter Lecture Series for 2027, join us for a fascinating morning exploring with Kit Martin the history and re-creation of the historic Gunton Park landscape and the restoration and reuse of many of its historic buildings.
We will meet at Kit & Sally Martin’s house, Park Farm, for our introductory talk and then visit the ‘old kitchens’ (By kind permission of Jacqui and Gerrard Stamp), now one of a number of individual houses created within the historic Gunton Hall building.
The tour will also include a visit to the beautiful Georgian St Andrew’s Church, designed by the celebrated architect Robert Adam. Conceived in the form of a classical garden temple, it is a particularly rare example of Adam’s work.
A unique opportunity to discover how an important historic estate has been imaginatively preserved, adapted, and given a new future.
Places are extremely limited, so you are advised to book as soon as possible, by following the link below.
Why not finish the morning with lunch at the award-winning pub ‘The Gunton Arms’ – set in the grounds of the Estate. www.theguntonarms.co.uk.
