8D.H. Lawrence : The War Years : People and Places9 by Dudley Nichols
In this illustrated talk Dudley Nichols explores why the modernist writer
D.H. Lawrence and his wife Frieda lived at many different locations
during the years 1914-1919. This was a frustrating time for Lawrence,
trapped in England by war regulations and short of money. He was
unable to publish two of his greatest novels 8The Rainbow9 and 8Women
in Love. However, during this time Lawrence established relationships
with a range of fascinating individuals with talents in music, art and
literature.

Visit to Petworth House and Park, 3rd July 3 fully booked.
17 July, Moor Park Mansion. Apart from the occasional talk/visit, the
Moor Park Mansion
Architecture Group has been inactive recently but on 17 July a group will
visit Moor Park Mansion near Rickmansworth, for a guided tour of this
neo-Palladian mansion set in 350 acres of parkland. The site once
belonged to Cardinal Wolsey but is now the home of the Moor Park Golf
Club - a truly unique 19th hole! The tour will start at 1pm with a
presentation, plus tea, coffee and biscuits, and will last about an hour,
leaving time to enjoy the park in the (hopefully) sunshine. There are only
20 spaces available so book in swiftly to guarantee your place!
