VISIT to EWELME & TROY – August 2015
Members of the Society attended morning service at the idyllic church of St Mary’s, Ewelme, and afterwards made their way (with the help of satnavs and other orienteering skills) to Troy, erstwhile home of Jerome. We were welcomed by the present owners, David and Tania Ruck Keene, with Pimm’s, sausages and canapés. The Society is immensely grateful to David and Tania for once again opening their beautiful home to us.
