2. Cloudesley Walk
During 2017/18, Cloudesley is commemorating the 500th anniversary of Richard Cloudesley's bequest. To mark the anniversary, the charity commissioned Clerkenwell & Islington Guides Association (CIGA) to develop a guided walk. The walk, Cloudesley – Cattle, Churches and Charity, was offered twice in the autumn and was oversubscribed on both occasions. Cloudesley are now offering two further opportunities to take part in this free guided walk on Saturday 12th May and Saturday 19th May, from 11.00am – 1.00pm.
The guided walk was developed and is led by Susan Hahn, an experienced CIGA guide. It gives a fascinating insight into Richard Cloudesley and his bequest; the urbanisation of Islington and, in particular, the development of the Cloudesley Estate; and the changing ways in which the income from Richard Cloudesley's two 'stony fields' has been used to support Islington over the past 500 years.
For further information and to book a place, please see https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/cloudesley-cattle-churches-and-charity-tickets-44149280687 .
Places are limited and will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.
3. Cloudesley 500th Anniversary Concert – 9 June

The performance at St Mary Islington, Upper Street N1 2TX will include The Stony Field, a specially commissioned choral piece which celebrates the life and legacy of Richard Cloudesley, which has been developed by Justin Butcher and Harvey Brough from Vox Holloway.

4. Holy Trinity Church – Update
Susan Speece has written to us by way of update. There hasn't been a great deal of progress in the past couple of months, but you will have seen that the trees were finally pollarded and the self-seeded sycamore tree has gone. Susan did confirm that a kick off meeting took place a couple of days ago with a Stakeholder Engagement Consultant. Susan has suggested that the Consultant come to our next Residents meeting, so we will be in touch in due course with a date for our next meeting.
