Ambleside & District

Local History

Coordinators: Joan Carus

Third Monday in every month at 14:15 in the Marchesi Centre, Windermere or at other locations on visits.

We continue to meet in the Marchesi but this can only continue if you, as a valued member, continue to support the group. Please consider joining me in the coordination. I always welcome help. Our charge remains at £2.50 for indoor meetings.

Some of you came on our visit to the NT property Townend in Troutbeck in May. If you missed this opportunity, or if you would like to see Townend again, then free entry is available on 12th/13th/14th and 15th September during Heritage Week. This year Townend is being shown as it would have been in the 1940s and guided tours are planned to re-enact a documented visit by Beatrix Potter to Townend. Full details will be available on the NT Townend website nearer the time.

Speakers needed: many of you will have an interest and information that can be shared with our group. Please consider doing this and we will do all we can to help you organise a presentation.
