20th May Away Day – Ewell Walk & Visit to Bourne Hall Museum
Come and discover some of the history of Ewell, founded as a spring-line settlement, where the chalk of the North Downs meets the London clay.
We’ll take an hour’s guided walk around the area. This will be centred round the Grade II listed Bourne Hall, where there is a café (refreshments not included in the price) and a small but interesting museum.
The museum is free and its highlights include Lord Rosebery’s hansom cab, a 19thcentury fire engine and extensive Derby races memorabilia.
Date: Wednesday, 20 May
Cost: £3.40 for the guided tour
