A stroll down The Strand
A stroll down The Strand
David Bond was a Senior Lecturer at Peterborough Regional College and became an adult education tutor in Local and Landscape History after he retired. David served as Chair of Northamptonshire Gardens Trust and was Chair of Oundle History Society until his recent move to Stamford. We are delighted to welcome him back to entertain us with a leisurely stroll down The Strand.
In the century between the Reformation and the Civil War the Strand in London was the best address to have in the country. Along it were some dozen houses with their gardens belonging to many of the most important families in the kingdom, several of these had Northamptonshire connections. These houses have all now disappeared but traces can still be found as we stroll down this most entertaining of streets.

“Through the series of lectures and visits I learned a great deal more about the man (Lancelot Capability Brown) and his ideals and in turn this gave me a greater understanding and appreciation of the history behind what we take for granted, as the ‘English’ landscape." Gwen
