He renovated Wynyard Park, which the art historian Nicholas Pevsner described as âœthe most splendid 19th-century mansion house in the county.â Londonderry was, however, forced to sell Wynyard in 1987 to the property developer and owner of Newcastle United FC, Sir John Hall.

When the 8th Marquess died in 1955, Alistair became the 9th Marquess at age 18.

  • Circe's Garden: Patterns in Lady Londonderry's Design And
    CIRCE'S GARDEN: PATTERNS IN LADY LONDONDERRY'S DESIGN AND MANAGEMENT OF MOUNT STEWART NORTHERN IRELAND 1917-1955 A Report Prepared by Stephanie N. Bryan, MLA for The Royal Oak Foundation, The National Trust of England, Wales, and Northern Ireland and Mount Stewart Gardens 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would first like to thank the Royal Oak Foundation for creating this once in a lifetime opportunity, as well as the Mudge Foundation for generously funding this fellowship. During my two-month stay in Northern Ireland, I have gained more knowledge about historic landscape management, garden history, British culture and history, and horticulture than I ever could have imagined. I look forward to applying a great deal of what I have learned at Mount Stewart to my future work with historic cultural landscapes in the United States. It is important to acknowledge the National Trust team at Mount Stewart for their warm hospitality, insight into the gardens, assistance with various research materials, and patience in answering my myriad questions. I would like to thank Head Gardener Neil Porteous for sharing his vast knowledge and experience of Mount Stewart, as well as his infectious energy and passion for the landscape. Lady Rose and Peter Lauritzen graciously shared their personal memories of Lady Londonderry and granted me access to the many significant primary resources that served as a basis for this report. Madge Smart kindly pulled sources from the archives and provided me space to work from the estate office. Finally, I would like to thank my mentors and colleagues at the University of Georgia for helping me cultivate my interests in historic landscape management and garden history.
