REMINDER – we have an exciting talk on ZOOM booked for Friday 15th January at 2.30pm. WOODCHESTER MANSION – an unfinished neo-gothic masterpiece – by Liz Davenport. This Mansion near Stroud – built in the Victorian era for the Leigh family – stands as an unfinished masterpiece. Hear and see how it was constructed and why it was never completed.
This talk is a change to the published programme as the original speaker is unable to present his talk on Zoom.

David Jones of Stroud Civic Society is kindly setting up the Zoom and will host the meeting on the day on our behalf which is very kind of him. The speakers do need to be paid – as does the subscription to Zoom – so a donation would be nice if you are not a member.
