AROUND twenty club members and a few relatives enjoyed a guided walk around the lovely old market town of Bishop\u2019s Waltham.<\/p>\n

What a history the town has! Bishop\u2019s Waltham Society stalwarts Alan Inder, president, and Tony Kippenberger, chairman, informed and entertained with their knowledge of its past.<\/p>\n

It was a perfect sum\"b<\/a>mer\u2019s evening to amble along the old streets and footpaths and to be told of the events that had unfolded over the centuries. After the Battle of Trafalgar French prisoners were billeted around the town and Admiral Villeneuve was held in the Crown pub, marked today by a Blue plaque. He was later executed on Napoleon\u2019s orders.<\/p>\n

Many royal visitors were hosted at Bishop\u2019s Waltham palace that was built as a residence for the bishops of Winchester. It\u2019s now mainly a ruin housing the town museum in the grounds.<\/p>\n

The walkers\u00a0are pictured,left, in picturesque St Peter\u2019s Street leading from the medieval church, though little of the original building remains, having undergone several restorations.<\/p>\n

The evening ended with a meal at the Black Dog pub in nearby Waltham Chase, pictured below.<\/p>\n
