Around 30 people were present for this year’s Midsummer Walk at Offenham. After all the bad weather that we had had, it was a beautiful evening as we set off from the Village Hall on a walk led by Ian Gibson.
One of the highlights was a visit to “Langdale”, a garden which opens under the National Garden Scheme. The owners bought the property ten years ago and have done an amazing job in creating a luxuriant garden on a piece of land which used to be used as a dog-training ground.
At the Church of St Mary & St Milburgh, Ian stopped to tell us a little about the church and the unusual saint which it is named after. In the graveyard, our Treasurer, John Sharp, came across the grave of his great-uncle, John Sharp. When John moved to Badsey from the West Midlands 15 years ago, he had no idea that he had local ancestors.
We rounded off the evening with a drink at Boat Lane Brewery. An excellent walk and many thanks to Ian for organising.
