The event will be held at the historically interesting Shaw House in Newbury
Shaw House is a significant example of an early symmetrical H-plan Elizabethan architecture mansion, situated in the village of Shaw on the north-eastern edge of Newbury. The house is designated Grade I listed building, while its surrounding park and gardens are listed at Grade II.
Constructed in 1581 for the wealthy cloth merchant Thomas Dolman, the house later became associated with the Second Battle of Newbury, during which it stood at the centre of the fighting. Although long believed to have served as headquarters for King Charles I, recent research suggests he never actually visited the property. The house did, however, host other notable visitors, including Elizabeth I.
In the 1720s, Shaw House was acquired by James Brydges, 1st Duke of Chandos. While not his principal residence, the family spent time in the area, and the second Duke became known locally for marrying Anne Wells, a chambermaid from Newbury. Following the first Duke’s death in 1744, the dowager duchess resided at the house until 1750, after which it was sold to the Andrews family. It later became the childhood home of historian James Pettit Andrews and, for many years, also served as a school.
