ENTICING PATHS
A Treasury of Norfolk Gardens and Gardening
The launch will take place at one of Norfolk’s most famous and beautiful homes, Raynham Hall. ‘In all of England there are few lovelier houses than Raynham’ John Julius Norwich said of it. The magnificent Marble Hall will be used to launch Enticing Paths on Thursday September 30th from 6pm to 7.30pm. All NGT members are welcome and will receive their invitations in August.
The lavishly illustrated book, with over 500 pictures through twenty three separate chapters, and 480 pages, retails at £30 and will be available at Raynham at a specially discounted price.
