FORTHCOMING EVENTS AT TABLEY 2010
Tabley Old Hall Guided Walk Saturday 10 April 11am
Gather in the Tea Room from 10.30am where coffee will be available. Local historian Joan Leach will conduct a guided walk, across the parkland at Tabley to the site of the old moated Hall. It was a favourite picnic spot for the young Elizabeth Gaskell. The Chapel, adjoining the Tea Room, will be available if the weather is wet. This 17C chapel was originally on the island but was moved brick by brick in 1929 to its present position. The old moated hall in Tabley Park may date from 1380 but it is now in ruins. The walk towards the mere, with its picturesque tower, as painted by Turner, is across rough grazing, crossing an old bridge that was once part of the route to Knutsford. See where the 17th century Chapel stood until 1929 and imagine the young Elizabeth Gaskell tolling the bell 'to call the wanderers home'. This will be a unique experience.
