Event information

The current owner of Clovelly, The Hon. John Rous, is the great grand-nephew of Christine Hamlyn who inherited the estate in 1884. She and her husband renovated many village cottages, hence why you see her initials throughout the village. John has not yet written a book about Clovelly. If he did, no doubt he would share some of the stories he will tell you today. Expect a rare and fascinating glimpse into the past, present and future of the iconic village, with someone who knows all about it.

60 mins duration inc audience Q&A

Delicious snacks/teas/coffee/cake available at Cafe Limelight.
