His Royal Highness The Duke of Gloucester visited Chester Civic Trust at Bishop Lloyd’s Palace (BLP) in May.
Personnel from the Trust were on hand to guide the Duke through the displays, exhibits and discuss Chester Civic Trust’s work and role.
The discussions related to his previous visit to Chester in 1975 in European Architectural Heritage Year, 50 years ago, when Chester played such a significant role.
In a letter sent to BLP after the visit, His Royal Highness “enjoyed viewing the exhibition on the Trust’s sixty fifth anniversary and the European Architectural Heritage Year fiftieth anniversary and was pleased to meet so many enthusiastic and friendly trustees”. The letter added; “Warmest regards and wishes for the future.”
