Tripadvisor Review:

We went for lunch on a beautiful day and were admiring the lovely gardens when a charming lady in period costume greeted us. She introduced herself as Sophia Degraves, wife of the founder and owner of the Brewery, and invited us to attend a performance where she told us her story. It is a remarkable and very interesting tale, and very engagingly presented by Anne Blythe-Cooper as Sophia and her son James Colbourn-Keogh who quickly switches between several male characters. Anne has also written a book about Sophia called "The Shape of Water". This show takes about half an hour and is a wonderful addition to the museum and historical displays at the Visitor Centre. Highly recommended.
