The manor of Eltham was mentioned in the Domesday survey and David will explain its fascinating and chequered career from manor house to royal palace to ruin and its eventual rescue by the Courtauld family in 1931.
David is an expert on Eltham Palace. He started volunteering there in 1995, progressing to paid roles as an Event Steward and an Historic Property Steward.
