Please see the attached document outlining an opportunity to visit Chevening House in Sevenoaks in Kent on the afternoon of Tuesday September 27th, 2022.
Chevening is a large country house built between 1617 and 1630 to a design reputedly by Inigo Jones. Formerly the principal seat of the Earls Stanhope, the house and estate now serve as a furnished country residence for a person nominated by the Prime Minister, currently the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs.
The house is opened a very limited number of times each year to interest groups and the East Surrey Area Team have secured a guided visit on Tuesday 27 September.
The cost will be £30 per head, which includes a two-hour tour of the house followed by tea with sandwiches and cake in the drawing room.
We will have to travel independently as coaches cannot gain access to the Estate.
Places are strictly limited to 25 persons and will be allocated in the order received.
If you would be interested in joining the group, please e-mail junerobinson9@btopenworld.com to receive a booking form. Please indicate whether you will be applying for one or two places.
Payment by BACS will be due with thanreturn of the booking form (we regret this is non-refundable).
No photography will be permitted in the house.
Best regards,
Ruth Andrews
East Surrey Area Arts Society Secretary
