Many a winner of group races and high class handicaps have been trained at Bonita including the King’s Stand Stakes at Royal Ascot twice, the Stewards Cup at Goodwood and the Magnet Cup at York. Bonita was set up by George Edwardes, the theatrical impresario in the 1890s. Former trainers include the Hartigan brothers, Sir Gordon Richards and the leading national hunt trainer Bob Turnell who used the gallops and facilities to train many winners including the Gold Cup and the Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham. Bonita has been owned by only two families in the last 120 years. Situation Ideally placed for quick access to the M4, Bonita is just 2 miles from Marlborough and 12 miles from Lambourn; an area steeped in horseracing with a wide range of associated ancillary services. A downland market town, Marlborough is a sought after residential area with excellent private and state schools of national repute, leisure and cultural amenities with an international flavour and a bustling High Street with independent and national retailers. The Top Yard This attractive L-shaped yard provides 24 stables, tack and feed rooms, a horse walker with paddocks beyond. Above the yard is Top Walk with two bedrooms, sitting room, kitchen and bathroom. This and the Bottom Yard are linked by an area of woodland interspersed with horse walks and a former tennis court now used as a sand arena. Little Paddocks Enjoying a superlative situation at the end of the main drive this unusually spacious three bedroom bungalow overlooks the paddocks and water meadows. Against a backdrop of mature woodland, Little Paddocks was built for Sir Gordon Richards of mellow brick under a tiled roof. Additional accommodation is provided by a studio flat located above the garage. Little Paddocks is well screened from the stable operations and has panoramic views over paddocks and water meadows. The Bottom Yard The Bottom Yard, approached directly from the village, mainly comprises a traditional stable yard with 21 boxes, tack and feed rooms, stores, and two integral dwellings in need of refurbishment, which could be combined into one house, or remain as two cottages. In addition are a further 6 boxes, the 10 bedroom hostel, the 3 bay hay and machinery barn, and extensive areas of hard standing and storage. Alongside the seasonal River Og, this could have a most attractive outlook. There have been proposals to redevelop the Bottom Yard: for details refer to the agents. The Paddocks and Water Meadows The stable yards and Little Paddocks are immediately adjacent to around 9.8 acres of gently sloping paddocks, 10 acres of water meadows and 3.5 acres of woodland totalling in all about 27.8 acres (12.9 ha). A further block of paddocks is immediately opposite the Top Yard and amounts to 35 acres of paddocks with mains water and about 6 acres of shelter belt woodland. These paddocks can provide a link to the gallops via the Green Lane. Gallops and grassland The renowned gallops cover about 154 acres of the finest turf and provide 6 different gallops ranging from 5 to 10 furlongs: The Bungalow Mile: starts from the road between shelter belts this rises gently across open downland. The Starting Gate Canter: 5 furlongs. Four Mile Clump: 10 furlongs with an uphill finish. This is the best gallop reserved for fast work. The 5 Furlongs: A stiff 5 furlongs uphill, between the Old Marlborough Road track and the Four Mile Clump gallop. The Set Aside: 4½ furlongs, next to the 5 Furlong, used in wet weather. The Round Gallop: A mile, closest to the yard, very good 2 year old ground and a spring gallop. There is a variety of potential locations for an all- weather gallop, subject to planning approval. Services The Top Walk and Little Paddocks have mains water, electricity and private drainage. Bottom Yard properties have mains water, electricity and mains drainage.

  • The Hancocks of Marlborough
    THE MAGAZINE OF MARLBOROUGH'S COMMUNITY AND CHURCHES NUMBER 649 JUNE 2015 The Hancocks of Marlborough The Hancocks of Marlborough were a remarkable family. They came to Marlborough, like many other tradesmen, directly after the fire of 1653 to profit from the rebuilding, and they stayed and prospered. A hundred years later James Hancock was born and he grew up to be a highly regarded cabinet maker, timber merchant and upholsterer with a well equipped workshop. He was also fertile, fathering 4 daughters and 8 sons, of whom only 6 sons survived to adulthood, the remaining 6 children all succumbed to smallpox, consumption or other childhood killers (though one of the girls survived almost to complete her cabinet making apprenticeship, and the family treasured the door she had made). All the children were well educated at the Marlborough Academy, run by the dissenters (although James was an Anglican and a parishioner of St Peters) and more forward looking than the grammar school. When James closed his businesses in the dreadful depression following the end of the Napoleonic Wars (exacerbated by the terrible harvests consequent on the 1815 Mount Tambora volcanic eruption - see Turner's sunsets for graphic evidence), two of the boys went to America and dropped from the record while the other 4 went to work in London. Between them they founded the British rubber industry, built the first steam vehicles to carry passengers on public roads (see cover picture), developed the gutta-percha insulation for the cross channel and transatlantic telegraph, exhibited at the Royal Academy and much else besides.

The editor, in his small way, has shown such devotion, as demonstrated by the photograph on the next page. Here, however, we are concerned with weightier contributions. Botanical devotion is well illustrated by a book published in 2005, which should be on everyone’s shelf. This is The Secret Life of Trees by Colin Tudge (Penguin 2005). It provides a comprehensive run-through of all the tree families in the world, showing how they relate to each other, and provides much interesting information about individual species. In addition, it gives a clear and up-to-date account, not only of the botany of trees, but of many of the key concepts of botany in general. Classification, plant names, evolution, the origin of life, the behavior of chromosomes and DNA, photosynthesis, what happens to water in plants, absorption of materials from the soil, growth, reproduction, hybridisation, toxicity, how plants respond to outside events and to each other, plant diversity, predator-prey relationships, other interactions with animals, and chemicals produced by plants are all described and explained clearly and interestingly, and their relevance to trees discussed.
