Walks of Interest: The Riches of Hackney

About This Event

Join us for regular walks as we explore the local area and uncover historical and interesting topics. Hackney was a desirable place to live for the wealthy from Tudor times until the coming of the railways in the mid-1800s. Two existing buildings have Tudor tales to tell – Sutton House and St Augustine’s Tower – and are still playing their part in today’s Hackney. See these and the grand houses of Clapton Square and hear stories of some of those who chose St John’s Churchyard as their final resting place.
