Visit to Wood End, Wormley, Surrey , 17th September, 2025 11.30am-3.30pm
This year we have kindly been invited to an early work by Edwin Lutyens: the extension of a cottage at Wormley for the widowed Lady Georgina Stewart in 1894.
After an introductory talk, we will view the principal rooms and garden which was originally designed by Gertrude Jekyll. The ticket price includes coffee on arrival and a sandwich lunch (not including drinks) at The Star in Witley. After lunch we will visit All Saints church, Witley. In 1888-9, this church had a ‘sensitive restoration by a young Aston Webb’ (Pevsner) which uncovered exceptional twelfth century wall paintings. All Saints has an interesting association with the Foster family.
The painter, Myles Birkett Foster’s grave is in the churchyard.
