Bures Open Gardens

This years proceeds will be divided between The Church & the Village Hall.

We hope to have about 20 gardens open.
Programmes will be available from any of the gardens and also the Church at a cost of £4 per person.
There will be a community bus available to enable people without transport to get to all of the gardens (and for those who wish to park and visit)

There will also be a picture board and programmes for sale in the Old Central Stores shop in the two weeks up to the open weekend.

 

A collection of historical and local information on the two parishes of Bures St Mary and Bures Hamlet from the late 1800`s to 2010.
Currently there are approx 221 pages on-line

I hope you enjoy your visit, its aim is to view a selection of the finest buildings and structures of historic interest within the two parishes.
Hopefully this site will enlighten those, especially new to the village who may never have heard of the Tannery, Maltings, Cheese Factory, Gas Works, Workhouse, Victory Hall etc

If you cannot find what you are looking for then visit the
Site Map for a comprehensive list of available pages.
