11 Buckden Roundabout January 2024 For Your Diary Buckden Learning Group From Mud To Cement - An Outline of British Architecture Tutor: Ges Hartley Over the 10 weeks we shall mainly be looking at the histo- ry of domestic architecture - churches and cathedrals will barely get a look in! We shall spend quite a while on early patterns of living as this is a topic which is less familiar than the later eras of the National Trust and English Herit- age houses that we have all visited. We shall also be con- sidering how social attitudes, technological innova- tions and changes in climate and landscape have had an impact on the ways our forbears lived in villages, towns and cities. Dates: 10 sessions, 9 th January 2024 to 19 th March 2024 (half term 20 th February) Venue: Conference Room, Buckden Towers 10.00am - 11.45am Information: Bridget Hale 01480 216391 THE CIO OF JAMES SOUTH AND WILLIAM BURBERRY VACANCY FOR A NEW TRUSTEE The Charity manages the South ’ s Almshouses and Bur- berry Homes in Church Street, Buckden consisting of fifteen self - contained flats for singles or couples, nor- mally over 60 years of age, who live in Buckden or who have a close active family relationship with resi- dents of Buckden and have limited means.
