About Heritage Open Days: Church Walk

A special free opening of the home of composer, conductor, and educator Imogen Holst.

Church Walk: The Loveliest House in the World?

In 1962, the famous conductor and festival organizer Imogen Holst moved into this tiny, ultra-efficient home before it even had a roof. While she worked with the greatest musicians of the 20th century, her daily life was full of simple, local charms. Peek into her soundproofed music room, become a diary detective to spot her funny everyday notes, and build your own folk instrument in her garden.
