Lucinda Heron
Torre Abbey: 800 Years of History
Talk by Lucinda Heron
Torre Abbey
800 Years of History and New Beginnings
Lucinda Heron started her second career, working with historic buildings, in 2004, having secured an honours degree in Heritage Management and Museum Studies from Plymouth University.
This followed almost 20 years raising four children whilst also working in the family hospitality business.
She was part of the team at Torre Abbey during the Phase 1 works before moving to the National Trust, taking management roles at properties including Greenway and Castle Drogo.
Lucinda was unable to resist the opportiunity to return to Torre Abbey as Manager in 2019 in which role she will oversee the next major restoration project.
This talk will provide a whistle-stop tour of the Abbey - Torbay's most historic building, with its 800 years of history.
Torre Abbey's recent major restoration project has uncovered exciting, new and rare archaeological finds which will provide ample opportunity to tell new stories.
Join us to hear the new plans for Torre Abbey which will secure its future for the next 800 years...
