Tea and Talk - In The Footsteps of Mr. Dickens.
The Victorian Visitor To Hoghton Tower
Abandoned,desolate and isolated, what drew the nineteenth century tourist to Hoghton Tower? Celebrated writers, poets, antiquarians and the "nomadic crowds" travelled to view the Elizabethan mansion, why?

Journey back in time to an age when ancient buildings were a great wonderment and the journey itself an adventure.
Option to book a Cream Tea or Soup and Sandwich either before or after the talk.
