The history of the garden of Royal Trinity Hospice
September 12 Update – CANCELLED
We regret this talk has been cancelled due to the Bank Holiday on Monday 19th September.
This talk by Alyson Wilson for the Lambeth Heritage Festival is hosted by the Clapham Society and doubles as one of our regular meetings at Omnibus so you can expect to see many of our members, and non-members are always welcome.
Alyson is passionate about history and gardens so you can be sure to learn all about the history of the lovely garden at Trinity Hospice in Clapham. The garden is regularly open to the public and is beautifully maintained, a real Clapham gem.
About the Talk
Alyson Wilson will trace the story of the Royal Trinity Hospice garden from the time it was laid it out for Clapham Place, through various ownerships to the home of the renowned plant collector and MP, George Hibbert. To bring the history of the Trinity Hospice garden design up to date, Alyson will continue her talk with the story of a redesign for the Hospice by the American landscape architect, Lanning Roper, in the 1980s.
Clapham Place was the home of Denis Gauden (where his friend Samuel Pepys died)
