Light refreshments will be available afterwards.
Sir George is regarded by many as the father of flight. He developed the theories of flight that underpinned the work of later experimenters and was credited by the Wright Brothers. His flying machine, a steerable glider, took his coachman aloft over the dale opposite Brompton Hall in the mid 19th century – the exact date is not clear. In addition he invented what became known as the caterpillar track, the spoked bicycle wheel and did work on early prosthetics. Sir William Worsley is a descendant of Sir George.
