Regarding the Field Centre Closure, I've been given this information:

"It is with great regret that the Trustees of the Thornham Field Centre have decided to close the school environmental education programme at Thornham from the end of the summer term 2009. For many years parties of school children have come to Thornham to enjoy this beautiful estate, but in the current financial climate we no longer have the resources to continue this educational work. Many thanks for all your support over the years.

This decision in no way affects Thornham Walks, the Walled Garden Horticultural Project or any other project at Thornham."
