Saving Ightham Mote Mote Restaurant February 25
Listen to architect Stuart Page as he describes how he helped to save Ightham Mote from decay. When the National Trust became the owners in 1985 it was evident that the house was in need of some substantial conservation. The work was carried out over a 15-year period. This is the story of Ightham Mote's rescue and conservation. Followed by a two-course lunch. More information: 01732 810378 ext 100.
