On Wednesday 25th January, David Valinsky entertained 40 of us to a most fascinating talk about the architect & Harrow resident E.S. Prior which was very informative and full of local history & facts.

We look foward to seeing David's publication that the Trust has sponsored.  

On Sunday 18th December at 4.30pm, our annual event took place in good weather with many of our local residents attending - we estimate about 300 of you! As always, thank you to the Salvation Army for attending and providing the musical accompaniment, and to Stephen Woodward for providing hot choc & mince pies afterwards.

Our Tree has arrived!

On Saturday 3rd December, Mark Ellis and his ever keen helpers gathered on the Green at 9am to go about putting the tree up.

Thank you all of you, as always it looks absolutely wonderful.

Schools other than Harrow School on the Hill

Having taken the summer off for a well deserved rest, Jonathan will have a spring in his step for his Autumn walk!

Although Harrow School is the most well known school, there are a number of other schools on The Hill. A walk / talk in conjunction with Rita Boswell, local educational archivist.

Sherpa Jonathan kindly agreed to lead local children over the Hill to view the "horrible, scary, ghastly"! Over 30 people arrived on 11th June - our second biggest walk ever!!!

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

A selection of characters associated with St. Mary’s Church

Jonathan lead us on his second walk about various characters - a poet, a railway ticket inspector, a Victorian social reformer and others. This walk concluded at the Church’s Summer Fete.

Harrow Hill Trust Kids Club held a "Fun Swim" at Harrow School Sports Centre on Saturday 19th March, a blissfully sunny afternoon with an hour of swimming in the pool followed by refreshments kindly donated by HHT members (especially the fairy cakes!).

There were 20 local children in the pool and the committee managed to raise about £60 for Penniwells Riding Centre which provides riding for the disabled.

Places of Worship, Part 2: St. Mary’s Church

On the 8th May Jonathan Edwards starts his series of 2011 walks on the Hill with the Places of Worship - St. Mary’s Church. For this walk he will supported by Churchwarden Pauline Chandler.

St. Mary’s is perhaps Harrow’s most iconic feature, with a long and fascinating history.
