Well known local historian Sharon Mooney leads us through an illustrated collection of house histories in New Town, Colchester.

Meet the Philbrick family who built the now gone grand Scarletts house, then on to Wimpole House which originally stood where the car dealers are on Wimpole Road, and The Cheviots and Mr Thompson who retired here in Colchester… find out about the history of these and more on a fascinating dive into Colchester’s past.

Join us for this free event in the magnificent St Leonard-at-the-Hythe church (donations welcome).
Refreshments available.

The 54 bus stops (by request) right outside the Church, and Hythe railway station is just 5 minutes walk away
