THE VYNE and SANDHAM MEMORIAL CHAPEL
Thursday 11th May 2017 – Booking Now
The Vyne was built between 1500 and 1520 for Lord Chamberlain William Sandys, one of Henry VIII’s most trusted courtiers. It is an E-plan house of diapered red brick with stone dressings bought in 1653 by a successful barrister, Chaloner Chute, who commissioned alterations including a classical portico by Inigo Jones' pupil John Webb to the north front – one of the earliest for an English country house. Further changes were carried out from 1770 by Chaloner’s great-grandson John, including a remarkably dramatic classical Palladian staircase. There is a Tudor chapel with important contemporary stained glass and encaustic tiles (1512) from the Antwerp workshop of Guido de Savino and fine linenfold panelling in the Oak Gallery, carved with badges and devices. There is a Gothick ante-chapel containing the tomb of Speaker Chute and a suite of drawing rooms with Rococo ceilings and Italian damask hangings. The Vyne holds an inscribed Roman ring as well as a lead tablet that speaks of a curse on the one who stole it. JRR Tolkien was asked to comment on it as an expert on Anglo-Saxon history, including its connection to a mine fabled to have been dug by dwarves, and a few days after began writing Lord of the Rings. The grounds contain large woodland and a wetlands nesting site which is populated by swans and common redshanks. There are woodland, wetland and parkland walking trails.
Sandham Memorial Chapel is in the village of Burghclere. It is a grade I 1920s decorated chapel, designed by Lionel Godfrey Pearson and built to accommodate a series of paintings by the English artist Stanley Spencer. It was commissioned by Mary and Louis Behrend as a memorial to Mary's brother, Lieutenant Henry Willoughby Sandham who died at the end of the First World War. The chapel is surrounded by lawns and orchards, with views of Watership Down. Spencer's series of 17 paintings was inspired by his own experiences during the First World War, in which he served as an orderly with the Royal Army Medical Corps, first at Beaufort War Hospital in Bristol, and then in Macedonia, where he was subsequently transferred to the infantry. Influenced by Giotto’s Arena Chapel murals in Padua, he wanted to paint murals too, but the environmental conditions were not appropriate. The subsequent paintings were commissioned in 1923, with Spencer moving to Burghclere in 1926 to work in-situ. The series was completed in 1932. It is dominated by the Resurrection scene behind the altar, in which dozens of British soldiers lay the white wooden crosses that marked their graves at the feet of a distant Christ. The series chronicles Spencer's everyday experiences of the war rather than any scenes of action. When the art historian RH Wilenski saw the completed sequence, he wrote of his sense "that every one of the thousand memories recorded had been driven into the artist's consciousness like a sharp-pointed nail". The Chapel is consecrated 'The Oratory of All souls' and only became officially recognised by its colloquial name Sandham Memorial Chapel following the National Trust's takeover of the property. Spencer would refer to it as his 'Holy-Box', while the architect and patrons would privately refer to it as Spencer's 'God-Box'. Meanwhile, John and Mary Behrend's children pejoratively called it the 'biscuit factory' in response to its municipal features.
Cost: £11.50 to include coach and driver gratuity. National trust Members enter both properties free. Non National Trust Members will need to pay entrance at each property. Coach Pick Ups: 8am at Michael Herbert Hall, Wilton OR 8:15am at Salisbury Millstream Car Park OR 8:30am at London Road Park and Ride OR 9am at Amesbury at the bus stop by the car park opposite the library.
THE WALLACE COLLECTION
Thursday 13th April 2017 – Booking Now
The Wallace Collection is a national museum which displays works of art collected in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries by the first four Marquesses of Hertford and Sir Richard Wallace, the son of the 4th Marquess. It was bequeathed to the British nation by Sir Richard's widow, Lady Wallace, in 1897. Displayed at Hertford House, one of the family's London properties in the nineteenth century, the Wallace Collection presents its outstanding collections in a sumptuous, but approachable manner which is an essential part of its charm.
In every category of art represented in the Wallace Collection's twenty-five galleries there are works of the highest quality and historical significance. It is probably best known for over seven hundred paintings and drawings by artists such as Titian, Rembrandt, Hals (The Laughing Cavalier) and Velázquez, and for its superb collections of 18th century French paintings, porcelain, and over five hundred pieces of unique furniture, probably the best to be found anywhere outside France. Perhaps less well known is that the Wallace Collection features one of the finest groups of over two thousand princely arms and armour from Europe and Asia and splendid medieval and Renaissance objects, including Limoges enamels, maiolica, glass and bronzes. Sculptures number over four hundred, and the miniatures more than three hundred. There are also hundreds of medieval and renaissance time period artworks as well as impressive works by goldsmiths.
From beautiful jewellery to Sèvres picnic plates, the shop features a wide selection of gifts, many especially commissioned, as well as some of the best art publications. The shop stocks guidebooks and an exciting range of publications on the permanent collection and temporary exhibitions.
During our visit the courtyard restaurant will be occupied by Sky Arts filming their Artist of the Year series so you'll need to go out of the museum to purchase food or drinks. As the Collection is conveniently located in Central London just a few minutes walk from Oxford Street, Baker Street and Marylebone Village, there are lots of popular restaurants and coffee shops nearby.
Free guides and floor plans (including large print), a choice of audio guides for £4, wheelchairs, magnifying glasses, torches, and badges for free entry to the one-hour Highlights tour at 2:30pm are all available from the Public Information Desk. A What's On Today information screen is also worth a look. A cloakroom is available to check your coats, bags and umbrellas, and/or to collect a gallery stool. There is access for wheelchair users to all public areas, including the galleries, library, education studio and lecture theatre. There is a lift to all three floors. Public toilets are on the lower ground floor under the restaurant.
Cost: £14 to include coach and driver's gratuity. Entry to The Wallace Collection is free.

AND SOME OF THE PLACES WE'VE BEEN
If you go on an outing we've organised or advertised and would like to do a write up for the Outings News, we'd be thrilled to hear from you!
BEYOND CARAVAGGIO at THE NATIONAL GALLERY on 1st December
Caravaggio was a genius who changed art in the early 17th Century. Before him , paintings were formal and stylised, of idealised subjects and scenery. Caravaggio swept aside those traditions, using everyday models and thrusting the scenes into stark relief. He used one light source, throwing the figure into the light and left most of the work in darkness. These dramatic scenes were emphasised by vivid expressions on the faces of the subjects. The National Gallery exhibition showed not only Caravaggio’s theatrical chiaroscuros (dark against light) but those of the artists who were influenced by him. It was really instructive to see side by side the same themes – card sharps, John the Baptist, Cupid, etc and compare Caravaggio with Baglione, Gentileschi, Ribera, Georges de la Tour and others. Although they were competent, sometimes great, they are completely surpassed by the beauty of Caravaggio’s art. It was a wonderful exhibition, and a privilege to be able to see it. A superb trip. … Moira Dickson
Please note: A red glove left on the coach to the National Gallery has been found and will be available for collection at the Outings Desk at our next U3A members' meeting.
JOHN RUTTER CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION at the ALBERT HALL on 8th December
John Rutter is a British conductor, composer and arranger of mainly choral pieces. He has written many religious works, including a recent piece for the wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton. There's no better way to get into the festive spirit than attending his popular Christmas Celebration, conducted and presented by John Rutter and performed by the world-famous and much loved Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and The Bach Choir. We thoroughly enjoyed this festive favourite concert and joined in the joy and jubilation of singing along to the world’s favourite carols including Hark! The herald angels sing, Once in Royal David’s city and Deck the halls as well as experiencing the orchestra perform Christmas classics and John Rutter carols. This was a magical, winter treat full of sparkle and Christmas cheer and a real thrill to hear choral pieces and orchestral works suited to the season, plus plenty of sing-a-long Christmas carols for the audience. It didn't even matter if you can't sing because there were so many people belting it out at the same time that no one noticed. And, of course, there is the lovely thought of knowing we had all sung in the Albert Hall!
… With special thanks to Ann Cameron and Alison Webb of A&A Theatre Trips for including U3A Members on this outing.
THE SUSSEX JAZZ KINGS at SALISBURY JAZZ CLUB on
9th December
Salisbury Jazz Club held its Christmas party on 9th December and, as expected, it was a great success. The near capacity audience was entertained by the popular Sussex Jazz Kings – Dave Stradwick (leader and trumpet); Bernard Stutt (clarinet); Ian Macauley (trombone); Pete Lay (drums); Kevin Scott (banjo) and Pete Clancy (bass). Our table had brought along snacks to eat as well as the hot mince pies served during the evening. There were table gifts, a large raffle, and a lucky 'door ticket' draw for free entrance to a future club session. In the second interval promoter Joe Croll presented his first 'Club Person of the Year' award to founder member Wendy Lawrence in recognition of all her hard work. … Sue Evans
WINCHESTER CHRISTMAS MARKET on Monday
12th December 2016
Winchester was a must-visit destination for all those wishing to experience a traditional Christmas. The city justly claimed to be England’s Christmas Capital and its Cathedral was at the heart of the festivities with a stunning Christmas Market and Ice Rink dominating its beautiful and historic Close only five minutes from the High Street. From its relatively modest beginnings, the Winchester Cathedral Christmas Market now attracts over 350,000 visitors in its tenth year and has achieved a reputation as being amongst the very best in Europe. Within the stunning surroundings of the Cathedral’s historic Inner and Outer Close were more than 100 attractive wooden chalets brimming with goodies. The stallholders are individually selected by the Cathedral’s in-house team to ensure superior quality, uniqueness and a wide range of products. Each year there’s a rotation of stallholders and a good percentage of invited new traders to keep the market fresh. There’s a strong emphasis on British and artisan amongst the stallholders, especially Hampshire’s finest cheese and sourdough toasties as well as traditional mulled wine, bratwurst, mince pies and stollen. We were also glad to retreat to the Cathedral Refectory and ice rink café for warmth, seating and great menus!
... With special thanks to Sandra Owen, Chair of our local National Trust, for places on this trip

When the art historian RH Wilenski saw the completed sequence, he wrote of his sense "that every one of the thousand memories recorded had been driven into the artist's consciousness like a sharp-pointed nail". The Chapel is consecrated 'The Oratory of All souls' and only became officially recognised by its colloquial name Sandham Memorial Chapel following the National Trust's takeover of the property. Spencer would refer to it as his 'Holy-Box', while the architect and patrons would privately refer to it as Spencer's 'God-Box'. Meanwhile, John and Mary Behrend's children pejoratively called it the 'biscuit factory' in response to its municipal features.
Cost: £11.50 to include coach and driver gratuity. National trust Members enter both properties free. Non National Trust Members will need to pay entrance at each property. Coach Pick Ups: 8am at Michael Herbert Hall, Wilton OR 8:15am at Salisbury Millstream Car Park OR 8:30am at London Road Park and Ride OR 9am at Amesbury at the bus stop by the car park opposite the library.
THE WALLACE COLLECTION
Thursday 13th April 2017 – Booking Now
The Wallace Collection is a national museum which displays works of art collected in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries by the first four Marquesses of Hertford and Sir Richard Wallace, the son of the 4th Marquess. It was bequeathed to the British nation by Sir Richard's widow, Lady Wallace, in 1897. Displayed at Hertford House, one of the family's London properties in the nineteenth century, the Wallace Collection presents its outstanding collections in a sumptuous, but approachable manner which is an essential part of its charm.
In every category of art represented in the Wallace Collection's twenty-five galleries there are works of the highest quality and historical significance. It is probably best known for over seven hundred paintings and drawings by artists such as Titian, Rembrandt, Hals (The Laughing Cavalier) and Velázquez, and for its superb collections of 18th century French paintings, porcelain, and over five hundred pieces of unique furniture, probably the best to be found anywhere outside France. Perhaps less well known is that the Wallace Collection features one of the finest groups of over two thousand princely arms and armour from Europe and Asia and splendid medieval and Renaissance objects, including Limoges enamels, maiolica, glass and bronzes. Sculptures number over four hundred, and the miniatures more than three hundred. There are also hundreds of medieval and renaissance time period artworks as well as impressive works by goldsmiths.
From beautiful jewellery to Sèvres picnic plates, the shop features a wide selection of gifts, many especially commissioned, as well as some of the best art publications. The shop stocks guidebooks and an exciting range of publications on the permanent collection and temporary exhibitions.
During our visit the courtyard restaurant will be occupied by Sky Arts filming their Artist of the Year series so you'll need to go out of the museum to purchase food or drinks. As the Collection is conveniently located in Central London just a few minutes walk from Oxford Street, Baker Street and Marylebone Village, there are lots of popular restaurants and coffee shops nearby.
Free guides and floor plans (including large print), a choice of audio guides for £4, wheelchairs, magnifying glasses, torches, and badges for free entry to the one-hour Highlights tour at 2:30pm are all available from the Public Information Desk. A What's On Today information screen is also worth a look. A cloakroom is available to check your coats, bags and umbrellas, and/or to collect a gallery stool. There is access for wheelchair users to all public areas, including the galleries, library, education studio and lecture theatre. There is a lift to all three floors. Public toilets are on the lower ground floor under the restaurant.
Cost: £14 to include coach and driver's gratuity. Entry to The Wallace Collection is free.

AND SOME OF THE PLACES WE'VE BEEN
If you go on an outing we've organised or advertised and would like to do a write up for the Outings News, we'd be thrilled to hear from you!
BEYOND CARAVAGGIO at THE NATIONAL GALLERY on 1st December
Caravaggio was a genius who changed art in the early 17th Century. Before him , paintings were formal and stylised, of idealised subjects and scenery. Caravaggio swept aside those traditions, using everyday models and thrusting the scenes into stark relief. He used one light source, throwing the figure into the light and left most of the work in darkness. These dramatic scenes were emphasised by vivid expressions on the faces of the subjects. The National Gallery exhibition showed not only Caravaggio’s theatrical chiaroscuros (dark against light) but those of the artists who were influenced by him. It was really instructive to see side by side the same themes – card sharps, John the Baptist, Cupid, etc and compare Caravaggio with Baglione, Gentileschi, Ribera, Georges de la Tour and others. Although they were competent, sometimes great, they are completely surpassed by the beauty of Caravaggio’s art. It was a wonderful exhibition, and a privilege to be able to see it. A superb trip. … Moira Dickson
Please note: A red glove left on the coach to the National Gallery has been found and will be available for collection at the Outings Desk at our next U3A members' meeting.
JOHN RUTTER CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION at the ALBERT HALL on 8th December
John Rutter is a British conductor, composer and arranger of mainly choral pieces. He has written many religious works, including a recent piece for the wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton. There's no better way to get into the festive spirit than attending his popular Christmas Celebration, conducted and presented by John Rutter and performed by the world-famous and much loved Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and The Bach Choir. We thoroughly enjoyed this festive favourite concert and joined in the joy and jubilation of singing along to the world’s favourite carols including Hark! The herald angels sing, Once in Royal David’s city and Deck the halls as well as experiencing the orchestra perform Christmas classics and John Rutter carols. This was a magical, winter treat full of sparkle and Christmas cheer and a real thrill to hear choral pieces and orchestral works suited to the season, plus plenty of sing-a-long Christmas carols for the audience. It didn't even matter if you can't sing because there were so many people belting it out at the same time that no one noticed. And, of course, there is the lovely thought of knowing we had all sung in the Albert Hall!
… With special thanks to Ann Cameron and Alison Webb of A&A Theatre Trips for including U3A Members on this outing.
THE SUSSEX JAZZ KINGS at SALISBURY JAZZ CLUB on
9th December
Salisbury Jazz Club held its Christmas party on 9th December and, as expected, it was a great success. The near capacity audience was entertained by the popular Sussex Jazz Kings – Dave Stradwick (leader and trumpet); Bernard Stutt (clarinet); Ian Macauley (trombone); Pete Lay (drums); Kevin Scott (banjo) and Pete Clancy (bass). Our table had brought along snacks to eat as well as the hot mince pies served during the evening. There were table gifts, a large raffle, and a lucky 'door ticket' draw for free entrance to a future club session. In the second interval promoter Joe Croll presented his first 'Club Person of the Year' award to founder member Wendy Lawrence in recognition of all her hard work. … Sue Evans
WINCHESTER CHRISTMAS MARKET on Monday
12th December 2016
Winchester was a must-visit destination for all those wishing to experience a traditional Christmas. The city justly claimed to be England’s Christmas Capital and its Cathedral was at the heart of the festivities with a stunning Christmas Market and Ice Rink dominating its beautiful and historic Close only five minutes from the High Street. From its relatively modest beginnings, the Winchester Cathedral Christmas Market now attracts over 350,000 visitors in its tenth year and has achieved a reputation as being amongst the very best in Europe. Within the stunning surroundings of the Cathedral’s historic Inner and Outer Close were more than 100 attractive wooden chalets brimming with goodies. The stallholders are individually selected by the Cathedral’s in-house team to ensure superior quality, uniqueness and a wide range of products. Each year there’s a rotation of stallholders and a good percentage of invited new traders to keep the market fresh. There’s a strong emphasis on British and artisan amongst the stallholders, especially Hampshire’s finest cheese and sourdough toasties as well as traditional mulled wine, bratwurst, mince pies and stollen. We were also glad to retreat to the Cathedral Refectory and ice rink café for warmth, seating and great menus!
... With special thanks to Sandra Owen, Chair of our local National Trust, for places on this trip
