Event Details

Castlerigg Stone Circle, Dacre Church, and Mayburgh Henge

Our first visit of the summer sees us remain fairly local.

 

Presenters: Paul Lewis, Chair of the Cumbria Vernacular Buildings Group

Paul will lead a visit to look at the interior of Asby Rectory, almost certainly, the most interesting building in Great Asby, with evidence of phases of construction from the 14th to the 19th Century.

Paul is a Historic Buildings Consultant, with long experience with the National Trust and in private conservation practice, so he will be an expert guide to help us understand the building.

The plan is that we will meet at the Rectory at 11am on Wednesday, June 12 and end with a sandwich lunch at 1pm in the Three Greyhounds.

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.)
