2024 Speaker Programme
The April LLHG meeting is closer than you think. On Thursday 18 April we will gather to hear Dr. Suzanne Tiplady speak about "A Mansion Fit for Demolition " - The the third in a succession of houses with the same name, the Grizedale Hall that had it's finest hours as a POW camp for German officers during the Second World War, was built by a wealthy Liverpool merchant in 1905 to replace the previous, insufficiently grand, incarnation.
