Walks of Interest: The Riches of Hackney
Walkingtogether proudly presents their 2024 autumn - winter Walks of Interest programme. Reap the outdoor benefits of being physically and socially active.
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. Important: To book visit: hackney.gov.uk/walking or email walking@hackney.gov.uk or call Darren English on 020 8356 4897. Once maximum numbers are reached no no more entries will be permitted.
