The artist #ElisabethVellacott was a good friend of #LucyMBoston? She helped Lucy with the wartime concerts for the RAF, and they block-printed curtains for the Manor windows together. Later, Lucy's son Peter designed a house for Elisabeth nearby (painting by E Vellacott) www.greenknowe.co.uk

Someone's just told the Dashwood sisters that DOT Productions won't be returning to #GreenKnowe until summer 2026!

But don't worry - there are still plenty of reasons to visit us:

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit from @DOTProductions last night. This year, they performed #JaneAusten's #SenseAndSensibility. Luckily, the thunderstorm ended before the play started!
