Founded in 1652\, it is one of the oldest surviving parish churches in the Commonwealth. Why the name Ware Parish? There’s no clear answer other than that the Ware River is nearby. The parish was formed after the execution of Charles I in England and before Charles II was crowned king. During this period the offices of the Bishop of London and The Book of Common Prayer were abolished. Yet the colony in Virginia remained loyal to the monarchy. In the parish’s earliest days\, they worshiped on Ware Neck near Glen Roy Plantation. Tradition and research by the Rev’d William Byrd Lee\, 12th rector of Ware\, indicated that the church was completed circa 1690. \nDirections to Ware Episcopal Church: from George Washington Memorial Hwy. (Rt. 17) North or South\, follow signs at Gloucester Courthouse to John Clayton Memorial Hwy. (Rt. 14E). In 1.0 mile you will see the church parking lot on the right. Due to rural driving conditions\, GPS and Google Maps may or may not work. Maps are available at HQ on the day of tour and at vagardenweek.org.  \nCherokee\n7887 Berkshire Lane\, Gloucester \nCherokee started life as a typical 18th century icehouse; a circular two-story tower with brick walls 8” thick.  Dirt was piled around them to about halfway up to provide insulation for the ice kept inside. In 1922\, William Fleet Taliaferro and his wife Elizabeth converted the icehouse into a lovely retirement dwelling.  They added a front door on the river side\, grand windows\, and an addition to include bathroom\, kitchen and dining room.  The “round room” on the first floor became their living room\, and the house was named Cherokee for the roses that grew there.   \nCherokee is a gracious home with magnificent views of the North River.  The circular first floor room is the dining room\, with a perfectly round table in the center.  An earlier expansion of the house created an intimate interior courtyard garden which has since become a light-filled space for Mrs. Merrill’s art studio.  Visitors will enjoy seeing her vibrant floral paintings\, as well as collections of art\, hand-blown glass bottles\, decoys\, and steins.  Other notable features include a grandfather clock from the 1700’s and a vintage slot machine.  With its history as a humble icehouse\, Cherokee is a singular experience.  \nToddsbury\n8777 Toddsbury Lane\, Gloucester \nToddsbury is an ancient 17th-century family home\, acknowledged as the “Mother House” of the North River.  Of the original land grant\, made to English sea captain Thomas Todd in 1652\, one-hundred acres remain.  Built of brick\, facing the river\, the original house dates from 1658.  Additions in 1690\, 1720\, 1782 and 1948 complete the L-shaped gambrel-roofed structure seen today.  An outstanding and substantial example of an early Tidewater domestic structure\, Toddsbury is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a Virginia Historic Landmark.  The interiors boast extremely fine early 18th-century paneling\, unique carved “keystones” over the windows\, and brick linenfold jack arches above the earliest entrances. The garden wall dates from the 1690’s and contains an acre square. \nThe nearly mile-long riverfront with its enormous willow oaks overlooks the longest southern exposure on the North River. The half-mile tree-lined approach to the house leads to the orchard\, walled garden\, carriage house\, guest house\, horse paddocks\, barn and wharf.  Archaeology on the east lawn\, and specimens of rare “Gloucester Hickory” exchanged with Jefferson for planting at Monticello\, enhance the grounds. The visitor is richly rewarded in touring this finely preserved home\, known as “The Jewel of Tidewater”. Toddsbury was last open in 1988. \nPalace Green\n596 Main Street\, Mathews \nPalace Green sits well back from Main Street in Mathews behind a sweeping lawn dappled by the shade of mature trees. The exact age of this stately home is unclear but the lunette window high under the roof peak matches several others elsewhere in Mathews which can be reliably dated c. 1835. The current owners are part of the Cooke family which entered the long history of the house around 1918 when Giles Buckner Cooke purchased the home. He had been a Confederate Army officer\, educator and Episcopal minister. By 1920\, he was the last living member of Robert E. Lee’s wartime staff. His son\, John Warren Cooke\, was born in 1915 and grew up to be a politician and newspaper publisher. John Warren Cooke’s daughter and her husband are the current owners and third generation of the Cooke family to live here.  In the room to the left of the entry hall visitors can see Giles Cooke’s writing desk as well as a fine portrait of John Warren Cooke by portrait artist David Silvette dating from Cooke’s years as the Speaker of the Virginia House of Delegates. Palace Green has an extensive collection of family antiques and a captivating art collection. The charming waterfront guest cottage will also be open. Palace Green was last open in 1992.  \nWeston Hall\n465 Weston Hall Road\, Port Haywood  \nWeston Hall enjoys magnificent views of the East River and beyond to the Mobjack Bay. Massive trees grace the sweeping lawn. There is a view across Mill Creek to nearby Poplar Grove and its original tide mill\, the last one remaining in the Mobjack area. Weston Hall was built by Capt. Clarence Kirwan between 1900-1919. Legend has it that no construction was allowed to take place while the captain was at sea. Pine timber from the property was used for floors and doors. The sturdy-looking Arts and Crafts-style exterior belies the light and airy feeling of the rooms within. Built to resemble the layout of a ship\, the wide entry hall is fifty feet long and sweeps from the land side entrance to the water side. Large light-filled rooms with high ceilings provide an open and sunny ambiance which serve as a backdrop for the art collection and the artfully chosen decor. The homeowner is a painter and her artist’s touch is apparent throughout the home and garden. The recently renovated guest house will also be open for tour. Weston Hall was last open in 2002.

SUMMARY:Raku Firing Fundraiser Tickets
DESCRIPTION:SATURDAY\, APRIL 10 (rain date April 17)\nThere are 18 time slots throughout the day\, YOU MUST BUY A TICKET FOR A SPECIFIC TIME SLOT!  \n4 spots are available for each time slot.  \nExpect to spend about two hours with us. \nTickets are $30 each. Here is how it works! Check in at your appointed time\, and you’ll be directed to a glazing station\, where you get to glaze a bowl made by a member of the Clay by the Bay Ceramics Guild. A Guild member will be there to assist you to apply glazes provided by Summer Haze Pottery. About half an hour after you start\, it will be time to put your bowl in the kiln! The firing process takes place right before your eyes\, in about 45 minutes. There’s not much to see while it fires\, so buy a Mug Madness mug\, grab a cup of coffee or cocoa\, bid on amazing raku pottery by Sue Henshaw (all fired at Summer Haze Pottery)\, and browse the Art Speaks Gallery while you wait. Make sure you are back outside to see your bowl come out of the kiln\, red-hot and glowing! You’ll want to snap a picture of that! The bowl will be placed in a metal trash can\, lined with newspaper\, which will be set ablaze from the heat of the bowl. The lid goes on\, and the smoke from the dowsed flames and the loss of oxygen – called reduction – makes the magic happen with the glaze. In about 15 minutes\, we’ll pull your bowl out\, quench it in water to cool it\, and wipe it off for you to take home! More photo opps here :). \nThe first firing of the day will feature some special pots Martha has made for us. These will be auctioned along with Sue’s pieces. \nThe entire process\, except when you visit our beautiful gallery\, will take place outdoors. We will ask that you wear a mask when working with our guild members under the tents\, and when claiming your pot. Clean paintbrushes will be available when you are glazing your pot. Optional rubber gloves will also be available when you check in. Stations will be cleaned between participants. Please keep safely socially distant from people not in your party. And have fun!

SUMMARY:Artist of the Month Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:November Artist of the Month\, Gayle Merrill’s exhibit will run through November 30. Gayle lives in Gloucester\, Virginia\, on the North River. She enjoys painting with the abundance of light in her home studio. Gayle’s oil paintings have an emphasis on light and color. Boats\, landscapes\, water reflections\, flowers and sunlight are her main themes. A strong influence on her work has been Edward Hopper\, whose favorite subject was “to paint sunlight on the side of a house” with some of his main subjects being seascapes and rural landscapes. Also\, the colors and layers of paint that the impressionist\, Claude Monet\, used are important in her work.
