Tours of historic Long Clawson home raise £1,500

The Old Manor House in Long Clawson, which has parts dating back to 1580, was open for conducted tours on Sunday and Bank Holiday Monday.

More than £1,500 was raised, with the money to be given to St Remigius Church’s windows appeal.

Organiser Sally-Ann Shouler said: “This was the first time we held the tours over a bank holiday in May as usually they’re at the end of August.

“We had around 300 people come to view the house which was a terrific turnout.

“I’d like to thank the twelve to fifteen helpers I had over both days as without them this wouldn’t have been possible.”
