October 2026 Meeting

This Months Meeting 

15th October 2026

​​​

Our next meeting will be on the 15th October 2026. It will on the Greys Court a National Trust Property. The Speaker will be Josh Watkins.

Set in the rolling hills of the Chilterns in Oxfordshire, Greys Court began as a small, defended house in the 12th century. Around 1558, Sir Francis Knollys began greatly enlarging and modernising the house to encourage a royal visit from Elizabeth I. In 1937 the Brunner family acquired Greys Court, turning it into a comfortable family home. Today, the medieval ruins create a romantic backdrop for the Tudor house and beautiful 20th-century gardens.

Our meetings are usually on the third Thursday of the month in the Rose Room at the Swallowfield Parish Hall. Visitors are always welcome
