On 14’th March, just as the doors were closing for the Covid-19 lockdown, Members and Guests were privileged to be guided by Dr Nicolas Bell on a visit.
The Gibbons carvings and Library, exquisite and inspirational, are testimony of the fruitful relationship Gibbons had with Christopher Wren supported by patronage, prominent amongst them Charles Seymour, 6’th Duke of Somerset. ‘The Proud Duke’ here set in marble, à la romaine.
