Event Details

A visit to the pele tower at Clifton Hall and to Clifton church, led by Sara Holliday.

All that remains of Clifton Hall, a fortified manor house dating from the 14th century, is the pele tower.   It does not have the usual massive walls, so it is thought it was built in the late 16th Century when the danger from the Scots was less than in previous centuries.   It is currently in the care of English Heritage.

Just across the road is St Cuthbert’s Church which is built on a site which has probably contained a church for over a thousand years – tradition has it that this is one of the resting places of St Cuthbert’s remains.  More information may be found on the Visit Cumbria website.

Given the impending Horse Fair, rather than meeting by the Bus Shelter, please call Graham (51905) so that we may gauge numbers and arrange transport.

ATG Activities

We will be working with local landowners to identify small areas of land that can be used to plant trees or hedges. Occasional requests will go out to members, seeking volunteers to survey areas of land to assess the age and health of trees and to identify possible planting areas, as well as to take part in planting trees and hedges. These activities will normally be scheduled to last for no more than three hours.

The Tree Group has insurance to cover members carrying out these activities.

COVID Policy (Feb.2022)

Unfortunately Covid-19 has not gone away, and we still want everyone to feel safe whilst being able to enjoy the film.

  • We use ‘cabaret-style’ seating around suitably spaced tables.
  • We recommend that you continue to wear a face covering when moving around the village hall, though this may be removed whilst you are seated.
  • It would also be appreciated if you could complete an antigen (lateral flow) test before attending.  (We are more than happy to refund your ticket should your test unfortunately prove positive.)
