Newstead's Stonemasons Trail will be guided by our very own stonemason at the Sundials Festival on 6th September.
Newstead's very own stonemason will lead participants on a guided tour, bringing to life the legacy of the stonemasons who built Melrose Abbey and made Newstead their home. Learn about the importance of Newstead's masonic lodge, the traditions of its members and the generations of masons who's ancestors continue to live locally. We will uncover the hidden marks and sundials scattered around Newstead, left behind by the Master Masons as they practiced their craft.
There will be two guided tours on the afternoon of the Festival leaving Newstead Village Green at
12.15 and 14.45
Places are limited and booking is necessary .
As a lasting legacy Stewart's guided tour will be translated into a map and self-guided tour for residents and visitors to enjoy going forwards.
Watch this space for details as the Map takes shape.
