Thursday morning began with a guided walking tour of Salisbury that ended at Salisbury Cathedral. A bus in the afternoon took participants to Old Sarum - the original Salisbury - and then to Stonehenge. On Friday, Trudy Haskell led a bus tour of the Haskell Homelands. After passing the Fovant Badges, we toured Old Wardour Castle and visited Donhead St. Andrew. It was then on to Charlton Musgrove for lunch at "The Smithy" - once a Haskell blacksmith shop - followed by a visit to the Church of St. Stephen, where William Haskell was Churchwarden in 1627 – 1628. On the return bus trip to Salisbury we stopped in Shaftesbury and the St. Andrews Church - Fontmell Magna. The USA Haskells joined the U.K. Haskells for their annual family reunion in Cranborne on Saturday. In addition to a business meeeting and lunch, we were entertained by the Sarum-Morris dance team, and visited the Cranborne Manor gardens.
