We are very sorry to announce that our Walks and Tea Time Tales are now cancelled for the rest of 2020.

Priory House will be in touch with everyone who has booked.

We apologise for any inconvenience that this may cause and plan to be back in 2021.

Take care everyone and stay safe.

Dunstable Town Guides are part of a new group called Historical Dunstable created together by the Friends of Priory House and Gardens, Dunstable and District Local History Society. Our first project is to publish a collection of conjectural drawings by Tony Woodhouse.

Tony is a founding member of the Town Guides, a well known historian in the town and talented artist. Over many years he has gained a comprehensive understanding of the town’s history and in particular its archaeology and architecture. He has used this knowledge to create accurate conjectural representations of the town’s buildings and events throughout its life.

The book was published in November 2020, and is essential for anyone who wants to know what Dunstable looked like in times past.
