On Sunday 13th August the Master of the Shrewsbury Draper’s Company, Gaynor Bowen, held an afternoon tea event which took place in the glorious setting of the Orangery at Pitchford Hall.
A sumptuous afternoon tea was enjoyed by fellow Drapers, family and friends which was accompanied by the sounds of the saxophone jazz quartet ‘Saxon Fire’.
