July 5-6th Bonchurch “open gardens”, 13.00 to 17.00. Our research has provided an excellent opportunity to understand more about the cluster of small marine villas in Bonchurch, a holiday and second home destination from the early Victorian period onwards and particularly attractive to writers. Many of the picturesque of the Neo-Gothic villas are listed buildings and their gardens also pay homage to the Picturesque, utilising the natural beauty of the Undercliff and rock outcrops to good effect. See https://www.bonchurchvillage.co.uk/open-gardens.
Saturday July 5th The AGM is to be held at Stenbury Manor, Whitwell, PO38 2AQ, at 16.30, 15 minutes from Bonchurch. A chance to see the garden and hear about restoration projects. Refreshments afterwards.
The Manor is approached along a long unmade track to the East of the Whitwell road from Godshill, left about half a mile north of Whitwell. If travelling from Whitwell the hidden drive is sharp right a few hundred yards after Southford, where there is a left turning signed to Niton. It would be helpful if you are coming to let Jane Watson know (malcolmandjanewatson@hotmail.com or 07771560550 ) so we have an idea of numbers for catering by June 21st.
