Bolsover Castle and Sutton Scarsdale
Richard Sheppard will give a guided tour of Bolsover Castle in the morning (11.00am to 12.30pm) with a walk around the site to get the feel of its medieval origins and its 17th century heyday. After a lunch break, we reconvene at 2.00pm on the other side of the Doe Lea valley at Sutton Scarsdale Hall, the shell of a Georgian mansion built in 1724-1729 where we delve beneath its 18th century exterior to examine the perplexing structural evidence within its interior for its earlier past.
