Broadway is notable for its varied shops, restaurants, and its two
contrasting museums, both of which are likely to appeal to
Friends. Based in a seventeenth century building on the High Street, the Ashmolean Broadway features exhibits from the Ashmolean in Oxford. The displays of fine and decorative art from the 17th to 21st centuries include paintings by Gainsborough, Reynolds, Millais, and Landseer. A modest entrance fee of £6 (concessions £4.50) is payable. Quite different in conception is the Gordon Russell Design Museum, which celebrates the work of Sir Gordon Russell, the renowned twentieth century furniture designer. Conveniently located, the extremely well-presented museum is of interest not only to a specialist audience. The admission fee is £4 (concessions £ 3.50). |

owners of privately-owned Sezincote House just outside Moreton-
in-Marsh normally open the house and gardens to the public, on a
limited basis, only from May onwards but we have been able to negotiate
a prior private Friends’ visit. The Grade 1 listed property is unique,
the house in the neo-Mughal style dating from the year 1805. During the
afternoon we shall have a conducted tour of the house plus access to
the renaissance-style gardens. From Sezincote it is a short ride to Moreton for a light tea at the four star Manor House Hotel. |
