Chiswick’s Three Great Houses, 24 October 2018

Wednesday 24 October 2018,  7.30pm, admission free, in the church hall of St Joseph’s, Bolton Road, Chiswick W4 3TE

Local residents’ association, The Grove Park Group, has invited the Society’s Chairman, James Wisdom, to give a talk for its members and for interested residents.

Three great houses shaped the Grove Park area – Chiswick House, Grove House and Sutton Court Manor House – of which only the first remains. However, their history can be traced and the old lanes, field boundaries and estate walls can still be found as this illustrated talk will show.
