Tues 22 October Closing date 30 September
Killerton |
Some of you may have seen the recent BBC programme on Killerton and the restoration of the chapel’s stained-glass window. The National Trust is offering Supporter Groups the opportunity to tour the chapel at Killerton to see how the restoration is progressing, followed by a short talk. This will be a chance to peep behind the scenes. The intention is to arrive at Killerton and allow time for visiting the house and the cafés before proceeding to the chapel in the afternoon for the tour, then back to the coach for the homeward journey. The chapel is situated at some distance from the house; the paths are gravelled but there are some slight slopes involved in the walk. Killerton House lies at the heart of the Killerton Estate, which was the seat of the Acland family from the late 17th century until it was given to the National Trust in 1944. The ground floor of the house is as it would have been in the 1920s–1930s. You can explore the entrance hall, music room, staircase hall, drawing room, library and dining room. In 1978, Killerton became the home of the Paulise de Bush fashion collection. The upstairs rooms now host changing fashion exhibitions. The 2024 exhibition is 'Playing by the Rules: Childhood, Dress and Imagination', also featured in the BBC programme. Members £25 Non-members £27 (non-NT members will have to pay the entrance fee to the property) |
