In guided tours at two historic churches and graveyards, discover the Alberton connection and some of the family secrets contained within their walls!
Tour one at charming Category 1 listed, Gothic Revival St Andrew's, Epsom will reveal an intriguing, recently uncovered twist in the Alberton saga to do with an elopement. Tour two takes place in the hood at St Luke's Mt Albert, where almost all the Kerr Taylors are buried, and gives an insight into their roles as founding patrons.
Both tours are followed by tea & scones back at Alberton at your own place with plenty of time to meander in the house and garden!
Tickets $25. Bookings are essential as places are limited and will be further limited if Auckland remains in Level 2. For all the details please see the Neighourly or Facebook listings - links below.

The colours represent the rākau (cuisenaire rods) used in Te Ataarangi, a leading language revitalisation learning programme.
A kanohi (face) will also be projected onto the southern side of the Sky Tower, representing the evolving face of Aotearoa and the notions of pride and strength.
The tongue represents the elements of revitalisation: status, critical awareness, acquisition, use and corpus.
The lighting initiative was one of a few created by Māori staff at SkyCity to support Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori’s mahi and Māori Language Week.
SkyCity lights the Sky Tower for charities or community initiatives that it supports financially, to mark national holidays, milestones or other celebrations or events, or as a symbol of respect or solidarity.
