Leaving Memorial Gardens at 1pm, we will travel by coach to Birdsall House, near Malton for a 2-hour guided tour by a member of the Willoughby family. Set in beautiful parkland, the original Tudor house was enlarged in the mid eighteenth century and later extended by the architect Anthony Salvin in 1870, who added the large dining room and a third storey to the central block. The house contains a remarkable collection of fine family portraits by among others, Mary Beale, Pompeo Batoni, and Winterhalter. Our tour will end with tea and biscuits in the Dining Room.

Cost £54: to include coach hire, fees, and refreshments
