Visit to Charleston near Lewes
This was the rural retreat of the Bloomsbury Group - a 17th century farmhouse in the beautiful Sussex countryside where Vanessa Bell (Virginia Woolf’s sister) and Duncan Grant lived with Vanessa’s husband Clive and Duncan’s friend David Garnett. A creative household which attracted Maynard Keynes, T.S. Eliot, Lytton Strachey and Roger Fry. The whole house is alive with the paintings of Vanessa and Duncan; every door, fireplace, wall and screen has been decorated in a way reminiscent of the Arts and Crafts movement. It is delightfully idiosyncratic - a house full of enjoyable spontaneity. After coffee we will have our own guided tour of Charleston.
After lunch we will visit St. Michael & All Angels, a delightful country church in nearby Berwick. Here Duncan Grant, Vanessa and Quentin Bell created lovely murals in the style of earlier church painting. Ten minutes away, in Alfriston, is the Clergy House, a 14th century thatched Wealden hall house – the first building to be acquired by the National Trust in 1896. It has a cottage garden and a beautiful setting. Alfriston is blessed with a number of tea shops for the essential refreshment before our return.
The coach will leave from Teddington Library at 9.15 am and will cost £23. Guided tour of Charleston will be £8.50 which includes coffee and biscuits on arrival. The church would appreciate a donation and the Clergy House is free to National Trust members – otherwise £3.70.

Booking essential for all visits. Please call Angela Carvill on 020 8977 0167 to book. Non-members welcome.
