Literary and Artistic Footprints of The Thames Valley Talk
with Nick Brazil
Enjoy a virtual journey up the Thames from Mapledurham House to the village of Aldworth, above Goring and Streatley, visiting the places frequented by notable writers and artists throughout history. For example, we examine the links poet Alexander Pope had with Martha Blount and her family at Mapledurham and the connections between Kenneth Graham, author of The Wind in the Willows, and Hardwick House and why it lays claim to being Toad Hall. Many others will cross our path, including D. H. Lawrence, Henry James and Alfred Lord Tennyson.
Pre-booking is required as the Zoom link will be sent to you. Bookings close one day before the event.
2 - 3.15pm
