Celebrating Devon’s World-Class Heritage: Discovery Days
This year, the Devonshire Association is ‘Celebrating Devon’s World-Class Heritage’ in a project supported by The National Lottery Heritage Fund which aims to raise awareness of our county’s UNESCO designated natural and cultural heritage and the Devonshire Association’s role in promoting that heritage over the past 163 years.
See this page for details of all the events.
Our Exeter Discovery Day will begin with an illustrated talk by Simon Timms, President of the Devonshire Association, on “Exeter as a UNESCO City of Literature”.
Bridget Gillard, the DA’s Executive Secretary, will then interview the author and buildings historian Peter Beacham about his distinguished career writing about the historic environment and special character of Devon and the West Country. Their conversation will include discussion of Down the Deep Lanes, his highly popular collaboration with the Devon documentary photographer, the late James Ravilious.
The afternoon will conclude with tea and cake and is due to end at 4:30.
