This talk was held, using Zoom, on FRIDAY 2nd July 2021 at 7.30pm.
An illustrated talk by Professor Stephen Ubex,
Landscape Archaeologist,
Cambridge University,
and
Mrs Ann Burrows
Professor Ubex is an authority on the history of the British landscape and used Gayhurst Manor and Park as the basis for his illustrated talk. The Gardens and Park have been developed since the initial design by Capability Brown (c 1751), by Repton (c 1791-5) and then Burges (c 1860) as part of his wider assignment to remodel the house, especially the interior. Traces of their work are clearly evident.
Ann Burrows, previously a resident at Gayhurst House, talked about some those who have owned and lived in it over the centuries.
There was a linked event on the following afternoon, Saturday 3rd July, when there were guided tours of the Gardens and Church.
All proceeds went to Church funds.
A recording of the talks will be made available through this website – watch this space!
At 3pm on 4th June there will be a Concert by The Cornerstone Children’s Choir, followed by afternoon teas. Entry is free. Donations are encouraged, and much needed!
In the evening of Friday 13th Oct, Stephen Skelton, author of the excellent ‘The Knight who invented Champagne’ will be giving a talk on how Sir Kenhelm Digby of Gayhurst Manor invented sufficiently robust glass bottles (verre Anglais) to cope with the pressures created by champagne and so created the champagne trade proper. Sir Kenhelm was granted a patent by Parliament for his invention. Stephen Skelton is an award-winning author who has written extensively on Viticulture. He is a Master of Wine and Freeman of the Vintner’s Company. He is also an experienced commercial wine maker and now a consultant helping people establish and manage their vineyards.
