A Lichfield historian and author will be lifting the lid on the past at two talks.

Tour guide Jono Oates will discuss Home Farm at The Barn restaurant at Heart of the Country Shopping Village in Swinfen at 3.30pm on Thursday (25th August).

The discussion will be followed by an afternoon tea.

“The talk will discuss the history of the farm where The Barn is based before a gentle walk around the grounds of Swinfen Hall.”
