VISIT TO SUTTON PARK and AMPLEFORTH ABBEY CHURCH
THURSDAY 22nd JULY 2010
Sutton Park, in Sutton-on-the Forest near York, is the home of Sir Reginald and Lady Sheffield. It is a charming lived in house, built of mellow brick in 1730 by Thomas Atkinson. The house contains beautiful eighteenth century furniture, paintings and an important collection of porcelain and magnificent plaster-work by Cortese. A private tour of the house has been arranged.
The gardens at Sutton Park have been featured in many prestigious publications, and have twice received first prize in the Yorkshire and Humberside in Bloom Awards.
Ampleforth Abbey is the home to a Community of Benedictine monks who settled there in 1862. The Abbey Church is situated next to the Monastery on the Ampleforth Abbey and College main campus. A guided tour of the Abbey Church has been arranged.
The coach will leave Scarborough Railway Station at 9 a.m. The cost, to include coach and driver’s tip, a Guided Tour of the house at Sutton Park and a Guided Tour (by a monk) of Ampleforth Abbey Church will be £22 for Members and £23.50 for non Members.

Dear Friend,
I think you may know by now that Rose Povey has resigned from your Committee due to ill health. Because of her outstanding service to the Friends your Committee has decided to confer an Honorary Membership on her.
Over the period Rose has served on your Committee she has raised thousands of pounds for the Friends. Her dedication as Secretary and her skill as Trip Organizer really have to be admired. Rose wore those two hats brilliantly with never a grumble but only a gracious smile.
Both Rose and your Committee would like to make this Celebration Evening a fundraising Event. The proceeds from the Event will go towards the production of the Storm Force exhibition ( Saturday 2nd October - Sunday 28th November 2010). The cost of the Celebration Evening will be £12 per head which will include a glass of wine or soft drink.
I would like to invite YOU to celebrate this occasion with us and help make the evening a very special one for Rose.
