A question, actually. Is there a local history walk planned in Prestbury any time this year? As an infant I lived in a flat in Morningside, before moving into Bush Court when those flats were built. But I attended Prestbury Sunday School, and worshipped at the church until adulthood.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

There is a walk as part of the Cheltenham Heritage Open Days in September but I don’t know dates yet. The Prestbury Local History is thinking of planning a walk in the coming months but I will post on the website when there is a definite date
