Wednesday 25 February 2026 7.30pm THERE’S NO NEED TO BOOK
Our February talk takes us to the magnificent Cragside in Northumberland. We’ll hear about the life of Sir William (later Lord) Armstrong and the development of his house and gardens in north Northumberland. But the talk won’t focus solely on life ‘upstairs’. We’ll also hear about the servants at Cragside and the sort of life they led.
Our Speaker
Geoff is a well known local speaker who has been giving talks for 25 years and has 38 for us to choose from.
Our Venue
This event will take place at St George’s United Reformed Church on Newton Road, High Heaton NE7 7HP. It is on the corner with Boundary Gardens, the same block as Heaton Stannington’s football ground, Willow (formerly Grounsell) Park.
There are excellent public transport links including bus numbers 18, 38, 52 and 553, which stop right by the church.
There is car parking on the surrounding streets.

The event is free to Heaton History Group members and costs £2.50 for non-members. There’s no need to book. Just turn up on the night.
