Arts Society – Visit to Smallhythe Place

Join a wonderful day out with the Arts Society Betchworth.

On Wednesday 14th May we shall be travelling by coach from Brockham,
leaving at 9.30am, to visit:

SMALLHYTHE PLACE, in Kent.

Built in the early 16th-century when Smallhythe was a thriving shipbuilding port, Smallhythe Place was later purchased by the renowned Victorian actress, Ellen Terry, in 1899. A year after her death in 1928 her daughter, Edith Craig, transformed the house into a museum which now displays a fascinating personal and theatrical collection that reflects Ellen’s extraordinary career and unconventional private life; and

BATEMAN’S in East Sussex

Bateman’s was the family home of world-famous writer Rudyard Kipling, known for The Jungle Book and Just So Stories. Built in 1634, this Jacobean house is in the Sussex countryside.

The cost, including the coach, is £24 for National Trust Members £50 for non-members
