Members will be welcomed to Stepleton House near Blandford Forum. Highly commended at the 2025 Georgian Group Architectural Awards for extensive yet sensitive repair with thoughtful modernisation, members will be led through the house by the present owners.

Melbury House, near Evershot in Dorset, has been the seat of the Strangways family since the 1500s. Altered and extended in 1692 by Thomas Strangways (under the probable direction of John Watson of Glashampton), it is the home of the Hon. Charlotte Townshend.

Guided by the architectural historian Charles Hind, members will have the rare opportunity to visit these private houses.

The event is for Georgian Group members’ only. Please read our terms and conditions before booking. 

If tickets have sold out for this event, please email members@georgiangroup.org.uk to be added to the waiting list.
