Special Outside Visit to Helmingham Hall, in mid-Suffolk – with a Garden Tour by their Head Gardener.

The Ipswich Group, Suffolk Family History Society, have organised a guided tour of the fabulous gardens, at Helmingham Hall by the Head Gardener. There will also be time for a wander around the Grounds, plus a visit to Helmingham Church.

After exploring the gardens, or taking a refreshment break Weavers Restaurant, it will be time to head to Helmingham Church. The church is on the edge of the Estate. There is a pathway through the estate to the church. The church is like a mini-Cathedral, as it has many elaborate memorials, several to the Tollemache Family who have owned and lived in Helmingham Hall for many centuries.

Date: Thursday 20 June, by Noon. The tour will start at 1pm.
Venue: Helmingham Hall, near Stowmarket IP14 6EF
Car Sharing is being encourages, so if you need a lift – or can help someone else – please say!
Cost: £16:00 per person. You will have to pay for any refreshments you may purchase in the Weavers Restaurant.
