Visit to Polesden Lacey, 25 June 2008
The Society’s visit to Polesden Lacey was blessed with good weather, so that the group was able to enjoy the gardens as well as the house. Polesden Lacey was given to the National Trust in 1942 by the Hon Mrs Ronald Greville DBE. It is a 1400 acre estate on the North Downs. There are plenty of volunteers to answer questions in the rooms that are open to the public.
As the organiser, I would like to thank Necdet Cilasun, Marilyn Holmested and Monica Hubner for their chauffeuring services, and Jim Hubner, together with his able assistants in the form of his daughter and grand-daughter, for the wonderful tea.
