Join Turn End Trust for a rare opportunity to visit inside two built projects in Buckinghamshire designed by Peter Aldington and his practice Aldington and Craig in the 1960s and 1970s. The properties (which include Middle Turn and one never open before to visitors) exhibit principles for which the practice is known including open planning and the linking of indoors and outdoors, village houses that are sympathetic to their locality yet make a striking contribution to the environment, and the simplicity, directness and honesty of building and materials. We will also explore Peter Aldington's own garden at Turn End with the gardener, Jackie Hunt, (where we will picnic). The tour includes a visit inside the building where Peter ran his practice in Haddenham. Originally a bakery, Peter converted the historic building into office and studio space which still retains the features he designed.

This is a walking tour of the village and we will look at the historic buildings, ancient witchert (mud) walls and village that informed Peter's design for his own home and garden. Guests are welcome to drive between the most distant locations using their own transport. Peter Aldington will not be on the tour.

Please bring your own picnic, drink and indoor shoes!
