The Arts Society Kington Langley July Lecture - Hybrid Illustrated Lecture
2022-07-05 10:30 - 12:00 | Kington Langley Village Hall, Church Street, Kington Langley , Chippenham, Wiltshire, SN15 5NJ, United Kingdom
‘Bombed, Burned or Bulldozed’ – Britain’s Lost House‘.
There is something incomparably romantic about a long-lost country house, and although Britain still possesses some of the finest of these architectural treasures to be found anywhere, many have been destroyed. A single ruined lodge or pavilion, an over-grown drive or group of mature trees are sometimes all that now exists to remind us of a lost house and pleasure-ground.
This lecture tells the story of just some of these losses to our National Heritage – destroyed for a variety of reasons; from neglect, arson, enemy action, incompetence, family rivalry, financial disaster or even insanity! In the mid-twentieth century particularly, profound social change, wars, high taxation and bad management often contributed to the demise of many grand houses. Hundreds were demolished after 1945 – some beautiful, some ugly, but each lost house, as the lecture shows, is fascinating in its own way.
You can join Matthew Williams (experienced lecturer, writer and broadcaster) and us in either Kington Langley Village Hall or via zoom from 10:15am. More information can be found on the event website (see below link).

King Arthur - A family adventure (Outdoor Theatre)
2022-07-20 18:00 | Ivy Lane School Field
Somewhere in Britain, a long time ago, a very, very, very long time ago. So long ago that nobody quite knows whether it happened or not. Or where it happened or not.
A boy pulled a sword from a stone and became King. A story of the old world, with knights, wizards, mist and magic.
This fun and farcical adventure is a deliberately anarchic and anachronistic re-telling of the Arthurian Legend with live music, physical comedy and lo-fi acrobatics. And some silly jokes…

The Last Baguette makes entertaining, accessible and eccentric work for family audiences and is company in residence at Pound Arts, Corsham.
The company was formed from a shared love of theatre, bakery and humour in Paris by graduates of the Philippe Gaulier and Jacques Lecoq schools.
Brought to you by Rag and Bone Arts CIC – committed to increasing the arts provision in Chippenham with generous support from the Chippenham Lions Club.

Tickets cost £6.50 in advance, £8 on the day.
Bringing seating or picnic blankets
Suitable for age 5+
Gates open from 5.30pm
Refreshments available from Nourishers.

Book tickets here.
