FRIENDS' SUMMER OUTING 16.07.26
On Thursday 16th July a group from The Friends braved the summer sunshine and heat to visit two contrasting houses in Sussex: Grade-I-listed Standen, belonging to the National Trust, designed by the Arts and Crafts architect Philip Webb, and Saint Hill Manor, of late-Georgian design, now occupied by the Church of Scientology.

The tour of each house was full of interest and gave us fascinating insights into the different ways of living of their occupants.
At Standen we enjoyed a light lunch in the barn and at Saint Hill a cream tea in the ‘Monkey Room’, decorated by John Spencer Churchill, a nephew of Sir Winston Churchill. It was a very memorable day out.
