A Visit to Island Hall
Castle Rotarian David Fletcher writes;
‘Back in November we organised an on-line charity auction sale to raise funds for School Readers and the Day Care Hospice. Amongst the many lots sourced by the Club and kindly given by a host of generous donors was an evening at Island Hall in Godmanchester, the family home of Christopher Vane Percy.
Christopher works as an interior designer and his projects have included schemes at the Garrick Club and Mayfair’s Connaught Hotel. He is well known as the author of the definitive reference work on Lalique glass. Covid restrictions delayed the enjoyment of this lot which had been bought by Lesley and David Brown, and Sandra and Martin Quince, but on September 30th Christopher was finally able to welcome them to his elegant and much-loved 18th century house, where he hosted the evening and led a private tour of its remarkable garden and interior.
Afternoon tea was served on arrival and a glass of two of champagne were enjoyed in the red saloon (see attached) with a variety of canapes prepared by Kate, wife of Rotarian David Fletcher Rotarian who arranged the evening.’
