Rousham House & Gardens, B4260 Oxford Road, Just beyond Hopscroft Holt OX25 4QU What3Words: ///depending.line.grit
Rousham is 18 miles away and will take about 40 minutes by car so lift sharing is recommended. We could leave the Green at Hornton at 5.15pm.
Rousham is completely unspoilt and uncommercialised – no tea room and no shop – just glorious gardens to explore at your leisure. Bring a picnic and comfortable shoes and it is yours for the evening. Don’t miss the walled garden with its herbaceous borders, small parterre, pigeon house and espaliers. One of England’s most important gardens, Rousham represents the first phase of English landscape design and remains almost as its designer William Kent left it. Many of the features that delighted its 18th century visitors are still there for 21st century visitors to enjoy. A favourite of many great garden designers, Monty Don says “Kent is the great genius of eighteenth-century garden design and Rousham is his masterpiece, one of the greatest gardens in the world!”
Please feel free to bring friends, neighbours, husbands or partners. Note: No Dogs and No Children under 15.
Entry to the garden will be free to Hornton & District WI members and will cost £10 for non-members.

Agenda items:
On Sunday 27th April, after months of training, Chris Marshall successfully completed the London Marathon. Despite the warm weather, he finished in a very respectable 4 hours and 23 minutes. He was running in memory of his grandmother Edna Seed who died in July last year. She was beautifully cared for in her last 3 weeks of life in Katharine House Hospice so Chris’s aim was to raise £2000 for this worthwhile charity. To date he has raised just over £3000 so thank you to everyone who donated – it has been really appreciated by Jan and Chris .
If anyone would still like to donate, his just giving page will be open for the next few weeks.
Don’t forget to book your tickets to secure your places for Horley’s VE Day 80th Anniversary Breakfast, organised by the Michael Hardinge Trust. (Booking in advance is essential.)
