Wednesday 12th June was the date of our evening outing to
Upton House and gardens. To say we had inclement weather was an
understatement, but several hardy members braved the elements and toured
the walled garden. The second half of the visit was a tour of the
house, given by two very interesting guides, who were volunteers from
the Friends of Upton House group, who related the history of the house
and the families who owned it - many of whom were struck by financial
disasters! We all enjoyed the visit and agreed it would be well worth
visiting again although in much better weather conditions!!
