Historic Buildings Visits
12 February, 2020
Update 17.03.20 – Following the Prime Ministers briefing yesterday, we have taken the step of cancelling the trip to Upton House. In the current climate it seemed the correct thing to do to protect ourselves and others.

Upton House was purchased in 1927 by the 2nd Viscount Bearsted and has been remodelled. The renovations created a made to measure home to showcase a world class art and porcelain collection, including works by Bosch, Stubbs and Canaletto.
Lady Bearsted’s passion for plants is revealed with spring bulbs, herbaceous planting and kitchen garden – all reflected in the mirror pool. Please note that it is a terraced garden with steps.
