We meet up in the spring and autumn each year for a weekend of visits to an area, hear visiting lecturers and have competitions and generally have a good time with friends and fellow photographers.

Shugborough Hall - Great Haywood Staffordshire

Image
These photographs are taken at Shugborough Hall near Great Haywood in Staffordshire. The Hall is well worth a visit as it tells the story of the owners, the Anson Family.  In particular it tells the life of the brothers George Anson and Thomas Anson .  George was a key figure in the birth of a professional Royal Navy and he became First Lord of The Admiralty.  While he was exploring the world Thomas lived at Shugborough and used his brother's income to remodel the house. The Hall was famous in the 20th century as the home of Patrick Lichfield and it has a great display about Lichfield and his photographic career. Shugborough is owned by the National Trust and you need to check the website to see when and how it is open during the Covid 19 pandemic.
