Festival Walk in memory of Brian Wheals

More bums on seats is the usual cry of the Wooburn Festival committee, but not on Sunday morning last. Only a few metres from the Parish Church in Wooburn Town groups of walkers assembled to “Walk in the Footsteps” of local historian Brian Wheals

 Local History Walks

In the Footsteps of Brian Wheals

For the past 4 years Wooburn Festival has been recreating the extremely popular series of Local History walks that were led by the late Brian Wheals. We are repeating a walk again this year on Sunday 25th September at 11:00.

The format of the walk is a self guided tour using a map and historical notes based on Brian's original notes, and so the walk can be followed at any time.

If you missed any of the previous walks, copies of the maps and notes for the previous years can be purchased at Bourne End Library.
