ST CROSS Hospital is offering the people of Winchester a guided tour with a difference.

The tour will feature some 20 actors, both well-known and amateur, portraying historical figures, providing an educational and entertaining tour in a bid to raise funds.

Parish priest Rev Mark Birch will play Henri de Blois, whilst Rev Sweet, a Master himself, plays a former Master, Roger de Cloune.

His character did such terrible things that his face today still hangs upside down at the entrance to the Almshouses.

The tours of the hospital are run by Clare Dixon and will take place November 29 and November 30.

Tickets can be bought from the porters lodge by calling 01962 851375.
