Explore Shaw House for free this weekend

The sixteenth century house will welcome visitors through its doors for free during normal opening hours on September 13 and 14 as part of the Heritage Open Days scheme.
Heritage Open Days celebrates England’s architecture and culture by offering free access to places that are usually closed to the public or normally charge for admission.
Built in 1581 by Newbury clothier Thomas Dolman the Elizabethan building was home to successive Dolman families, the flamboyant Duke of Chandos and the Andrews, Eyre and Farquhar families.
Over this time the House played host to several royal visitors, including Elizabeth I.
Shaw House will be open between 11am and 4pm with introductory talks at 11.30am, 12.30pm, 1.30pm and 2.30pm.
The house will also host an open air cinema screening of Les Miserables on the evening of September 13.
The showing is a separate ticketed event and not part of the Heritage Open Days scheme.
