BETWEEN TWO WARS: MUSIC OF THE 20s AND 30s

Sheafhayne Manor, Yarcombe, East Devon
Fiday 24th – Sunday 26nd April 2009













The venue

Sheafhayne Manor is a Grade II listed Elizabethan manor house, commanding 
wonderful views across the East Devon countryside. Originally a medieval hall, 
it later became the hunting lodge of Sir Francis Drake. The house has recently 
been extensively and lovingly refurbished, so that modern facilities (including 
mostly en suite accommodation) have been combined with the original features. 
The Tudor panelling, flagstones, mullioned windows, old oak floorboards and 
doors remain in fine condition, and give the house a special atmosphere.


The course

The weekend will explore aspects of two decades of music, the 1920s and 1930s. 
It is designed as an informal house party, and guests need only the ability to 
enjoy music. No technical knowledge is required, and music examples will be 
provided on excellent hi-fi equipment.


Terry Barfoot writes widely on music for Britain’s leading journals, orchestras, festivals 
and record companies. He lectures at venues throughout the country and is Publications 
Consultant to the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra.
