Saturday 7th October - An Illustrated talk ‘Endings & Beginnings of Gardens & Houses’

for 2 hours
Bergh Apton: St Peter & St Paul
School Road Bergh Apton Norwich, NR15 1BX, United Kingdom

Xa Tollemache and Hopwood dePree bring their considerable talents to this talk which might be entitled ‘Rescuing a Ruin & How to win a Chelsea Gold’ - but is actually so much more.
Some 50 years ago, while In her mid-20s, Xa Tollemache took on the redesigning of the Helmingham Hall gardens. Her success launched a new and challenging international career in garden and landscaping design that included a gold and two silver-gilt Chelsea awards.

In the early 20-teens, US film-maker Hopwood DePree, discovered that his grandfather’s stories about a grand ancestral home, Hopwood Hall, were not just bedtime fairytales; they were true - it was in northern England but it was now nearing dereliction.. He set about reversing the damage wrought by 100 years of neglect.

Their experiences were combined into a talk presented at the Chatsworth Literary festival during the summer. Join us to hear it for yourselves.

The event is to raise funds for Bergh Apton Church and Ormiston Families

Tickets including refreshments and parking: £12.50 by phone 01508 558440
