Retorica brings together two exceptionally talented players to explore the richly expressive repertoire for violin duo. Their programme explores music by star Baroque composers and includes the entertaining Gulliver Suite, a set of virtuosic dances following the journey of Swift’s hero. A recent major restoration enhanced the beauty of the Norman church of St Andrew’s.

The font and the Easter sepulchre, both dating from the 14th century, are amongst the many outstanding features in the church. Both the sepulchre and a nearby brass commemorate members of the Luttrell family who owned the village and the hall, and commissioned the celebrated
Luttrell Psalter.
