Call for heritage guides in Hampshire

Lou Hannan

Available for over a year

There is an opportunity to train as a tourist guide, based in one of Southampton's most historic buildings. The God's House Tower is a late 13th century gatehouse into the old town of Southampton. Standing at the south-east corner of the town walls, it has served as the town gaol and housed the Museum of Archaeology. The Grade II listed building is a scheduled ancient monument and will re-open as an arts and heritage venue. And with the 200th anniversary of Jane Austen's death in 2017 and the re-opening of the chapel at Royal Victoria Country Park, volunteers are needed to guide visitors through their history, as Âé¶¹Éç Radio Solent's Neil Sackley has been discovering.
