11.30am: The legacy of the ladies of Wrest

Discover the first 400 years of Wrest Park, from Emma de Cauz who brought it into the De Grey family in the 13th Century, through to Amabel the ‘Good Countess’ (for her concern for the poor) in the 17th century. Amabel and her daughter-in-law, Mary Lucas, were responsible for developing the estate.

2pm: Georgian heiress

An introduction to the life and times of Jemima, Marchioness Grey. Jemima wrote many letters during her time at Wrest Park which tell her story and the story of a woman in Georgian society. The talks will bring to life what it was like to live for a woman in the ‘Bridgerton’ era. Jemima was also responsible for bringing in ‘Capability’ Brown to Wrest Park.

Women At Wrest Park Exhibition

In the 20th century London became a fashion powerhouse. This was largely due to an influx of Jewish immigrants. In the West End, the story is one of couturiers, boutiques and department stores. We will discover the sites of these businesses and hear about how they operated and the ways in which the designers behind them managed to both transcend stereotypes and defy expectations.

This tour is graded as moderate access, due to it being a walking tour covering 1.5-2 miles over busy and uneven streets, with few places to stop and rest. Goodge Street Station does not have step-free access. The nearest station is Tottenham Court Road, which may have a mini ramp available.
