Monday 16 July. Afternoon visit with guided tours of the churches of Charwelton and Fawsley in Northamptonshire, ending with another guided tour and cream tea at nearby Fawsley Hall. Numbers limited to 40. Organised by Gill Ashley-Smith, but being sold on the night by Catherine Petrie.
The interest already expressed in these outings suggests that demand for tickets will be high. If they do not sell out on 20 April, there may be another opportunity on 18 May,
