Heritage Open Days are on September 9th and 10th this year and it always seems to me that this weekend is especially important for Ipswich. Our many fine heritage buildings are from such different periods in history and are so spread throughout the town that they are not always easy for visitors to access. This rich history, still evident in our urban landscape today, needs interpretation such as that provided by HOD. Ipswich Society members can play their part by volunteering as stewards in one of the buildings open to the public – this year the Ancient House and Pykenham’s Gatehouse need our services. They are both open from 10 till 4 on both the Saturday and Sunday and I divide the rota into two hour sessions with two stewards on each session, so I need 24 volunteers altogether! If you feel you can give two hours of your time at some stage during the weekend, please do contact me on secretary@ipswichsociety.org.uk
