Friday, 28 June: Reawakening the Maison Dieu: Hard-hat tour to see work in progress
We have been invited to an exclusive behind the scenes tour of Dover’s historic Maison Dieu to see conservation work in progress on this 800-year-old pilgrimage hospital with its superb William Burges interiors. We will see conservators at work, reinstating the Burges’s decorative scheme in the Mayor’s Parlour and Connaught Hall, with its superb Victorian stained-glass. Led by the Maison Dieu Engagement Officer, Martin Crowther, we will learn about exciting plans to reawaken the building as an events venue and heritage site.
Cost: £16, code: Dover.
