Sulgrave Manor trip 21st May 2019

Project Purley is hosting a trip to historic Sulgrave Manor on Tuesday 21st May.  Travel is being organised by coach from Purley, and there are still a few places available.  The cost is £35.50, including entry to the house.  Contact Jean Chudleigh to book a place – jeanchudleigh@btinternet.com.

Sulgrave Manor is in Oxfordshire, a few miles East of Banbury, and about 60 miles North of Purley.  The travel time will be about 1.5 hours each way.  We shall also have an opportunity to visit the 13th century Sulgrave Church, which has links to the Washington family, and have lunch at the Star Inn.

Attached are details and photographs of Sulgrave Manor, and a menu from the Star Inn.  Details of the church and more details of the Manor can be found on their websites:
