Summary

COI synopsis: The 800-year old Farnham Castle, a superb example of Norman architecture, has provided in the past few years a most elegant setting for familiarisation courses to help people who are leaving the UK to work and live abroad. Now the idea has been expanded to offer to people coming to work or study in Britain an introduction to the British way of life.

Researcher Comments

Features the director of Farnham Castle, Michael Thornton and his wife Ruth, and Mr Lancaster, the deputy clerk of Farnham Urban District Council.
