Andrew Catto leading two tours this weekend
June 23, 2023 Two guided walks around Roehampton have been organised by the Putney Society this weekend. Led by Andrew Catto, the Convenor of the Building Panel, there will be a different guided walk on each day exploring different parts of Roehampton, ancient and modern. The walks will commence each day at 2pm from the "Welcome To Roehampton" sign at the junction of Roehampton Lane and Danebury Avenue. On Saturday 24 June there will be a circular tour focussing on the twin Alton Estates and the Georgian mansions hidden within these plus some village highlights. On Sunday 25 June the walk will start at the same point but lead (mostly) downhill to the Upper Richmond Road taking in more fine houses, the University campus and earlier Homes for Heroes. Both walks are free, but you are asked to book your place(s) online to help the society manage numbers. Putney Society, a registered charity, is an amenity society run by volunteers to preserve and enhance our local heritage and community. The Putney Society’s website contains more information about many other local issues and how to become a member.
