SOUTHWARK AND LAMBETH
ARCHAEOLOGICAL SOCIETY
VISIT TO HARWICH AND DEDHAM IN
ESSEX
By coach on Saturday, July 2nd, 2016
The port of Harwich, on the south
side of the estuary of the River Stour, is a significant place in England’s
maritime history. It once possessed a
major dockyard of the Royal Navy, it was the original home of the Mayflower and of its master, Christopher
Jones, before their removal to Rotherhithe, and it was represented in
Parliament in the 1680s by none other than Samuel Pepys, who was a leading
figure in the development of the Royal Navy after the Restoration. Dedham is an attractive small town upstream on
the Stour, prosperous in the Middle Ages from the cloth trade, with a very fine
late mediaeval church. John Constable
attended school in the town and there is a museum dedicated to the life and
work of Sir Alfred Munnings.
COST: £30
The coach will leave from the Old
Vic at Waterloo at 8.45 a.m.
