We were all so sad to see Heather standing down as Chairman at the November A.G.M. after many years of organising and leading the group so well that we needed cheering up. Maureen Thompson had a treat prepared for us though. Her talk on her creation of her magnificent garden at Lavenham was beautifully presented and illustrated with wonderful photographs. We all came away inspired. Maureen retired as President in November and we thank her for fulfilling her role so well. We are so glad that she is joining us on the committee. Margaret Thorpe is taking over as President and we feel very fortunate to have her. Michael Hawkins and Jim Marshall retired from the committee and will be much missed. We are delighted that Barbara Segall and Jackie Rocker have joined us and look forward to going into 2013 with an enthusiastic and capable team. As you will see we have a wonderful programme of talks and visits for you this year. Members were so appalled at the idea of not having the annual winter visit to Anglesey Abbey Gardens that we have re-instated it. So put the date, 5th January in your diaries. We have another winter treat planned for 16 th February, with a visit to Chippenham Park to see their carpets of early bulbs. In May there is no garden visit because we will be far too busy with our plant sale in Sudbury. We are going to be part of the May Bank Holiday Plant Sale in the market place. We hope you will all support us by providing unusual plants and then please come along on the big day. Please use our website to see what is going on and send us articles and photos to show us what is happening in your gardens. I hope you will all enjoy the forthcoming programme and I wish you a very Happy New Gardening Year. May the sun shine on your garden and the rain fall upon it, (but only at night.) Roses to rave about. Maureen Thompson I moved to Lavenham four years ago and had to start a new garden from scratch. JCB's, large mature plants and industrial quantities of compost and manure, have helped to transform it in to my garden paradise. In my talk at the AGM in November 2012 I mentioned many of the plants that I have enjoyed growing, in particular, the climbing roses. Much as I love the old varieties of rose there is no doubt that the modern disease-free repeat flowering climbers are very rewarding, as they have no black spot or mildew. One of my favourites is Rosa 'Parade', with its wonderfully scented bright cerise blooms. Another is 'Aloha' with an almost hybrid tea shape in bud but opening to sumptuous fragrant pink blooms. Other favourites, new and old, include 'Purple Sky Liner', 'New Dawn' 'Blush Noisette' and 'Penny Lane', At the end of my Lavender Walk I have a statue of the Goddess of Plenty. Around her is an arch on which I grow 'Crème de la Crème', an enchanting small double rose with clusters of white flowers that turn pale yellow, flowering continuously until November. In the lavender beds I grow mostly shrub roses including 'Graham Thomas', 'Jacqueline du Pre', 'Little White Pet', 'The Pilgrim' and the robust climber, 'The Alchemist'. Yes - I know it is not repeat flowering but it is too beautiful to leave out. One rose I wish I had never planted is 'Félicité Perpétue' which is a real thug and only suitable for large gardens. It throws out long branches everywhere (I swear it grows six inches in a night). Simon White of Peter Beales tells me it ought to be pruned three times a year, which is two times too many as far as I am concerned. Two other shrub roses I must mention. The first is 'St Ethelburga'. It was the only rose here when I moved to this house. A stunning plant with big fragrant pink blooms and red stems, it is continually in flower. It is a strong grower and I always have a bloom or two until November. The other shrub rose is 'Mme Isaac Perriere' which has glorious deep mauve- pink blooms that offer a perfume to swoon over. EAGG outing to Kent - 12th July 2012 Restoration House and Godinton The Rev. Canon Christopher Sansbury. (Photos Maggie Thorpe) Our outing began with what at the time was an almost inconceivable sight - blue skies and fine weather. Most of us being cautious travellers had brought some kind of wet weather kit, but Heather would have none of it. She called us pessimists and assured us it was going to be fine - which it was. So on July 12th we crossed the Thames to visit two houses in Kent. Restoration House in Rochester is so called because Charles ll stayed there on his way from Dover to London to claim the throne; at the time he couldn't be sure that everyone would accept him. That's why the State Bedroom had a number of escape routes. We were shown a corner with three doors one above the other and hidden behind a heavy cupboard was a chute down to ground level. Among the rooms were the Great Chamber (refitted by Sir Francis Cheke to show his importance as an MP and considered to be the original of Miss Havisham's room in Great Expectations), the King's Stair (actually dating from 1680 and so not available to Charles ll twenty years earlier), and the Eccentric Room, called that because it contains such a variety of styles. The Great Hall had among other things a dole cupboard where leftover food could be kept for any passing poor and homeless people - hence the expression being on the dole. It is a tribute to the talents of the present owners that none of the furniture is later than the 17th century, yet none of it was in the house when the present owners moved in 1994. A contrast to this is the house's collection of Gainsboroughs, including three portraits and eight landscapes - all of which made us from the hinterland of Sudbury feel very much at home. Godinton House near Ashford is surrounded by beautiful parkland. It was occupied by the Toke family from 1474 to 1896 and its outward appearance owes a great deal to Dutch influences.

  • BRENTWOOD BOROUGH COUNCIL WARLEY PLACE GREAT WARLEY Historic England Registered Site: Grade II
    BRENTWOOD BOROUGH COUNCIL WARLEY PLACE GREAT WARLEY Historic England Registered Site: Grade II Grid Ref: TQ 583 909 Warley Place was the garden of Ellen Willmott (1858 – 1934) who gardened intensively in a natural style from 1875 until her death. It is now leased to the Essex Wildlife Trust and managed as a nature reserve which respects the garden’s history. HISTORIC DEVELOPMENT In the sixteenth century the site of Warley Place formed part of a much bigger estate which, following the Dissolution of the Monasteries, came into the ownership of the Gonson family. The estate passed through several generations of the family until, in 1627, it was split between four sisters. The title of the manor of Warley and some land went to Sir Richard Browne, the son of Thomasine Fenton, who was one of the sisters. In 1647 Sir Richard's daughter Mary married John Evelyn (1620-1706) who purchased from his father- in-law the lordship of the manor of Warley. There are unsubstantiated beliefs that Evelyn wrote Sylva while he was living at Warley Place. At the time that Evelyn presented Sylva in February 1664 to the restored king, Charles II, he was living at Sayes Court, Deptford. Warley Place, however, was left to the heirs of Anne Fleming (another sister)’s family. After being held by the Fleming family, the Warley Place estate passed through several ownerships. In 1728 Thomas Jackson of Gray's Inn was the occupier (Victoria County History) and on his death in that year he left the estate to his son George Jackson and his sister Winifred Jackson.

    4.0 THE MEDITERRANEAN AND THE MEDIA It is now timely to sample the principal sources of information essential to developing an understanding of the Mediterranean from its weather patterns and climate onwards to demonstrate how different areas of study have been isolated, enmeshed, ravelled and unravelled into a cloth of interdependent threads of ideas that give form to our insight into the nature of things Mediterranean. Within the time frame established in this paper, the study of the Mediterranean in many of its aspects reached high into the realms of scholarship and at the same time penetrated public consciousness, both academic and popular interest being permitted by the advent in the early 19th century of the means of mass communication. Hence the following survey was made possible and accessible at this distance. 4.1 The Mediterranean climate type The pervasive nature of Mediterranean consciousness throughout Anglo- European societies following the Napoleonic Wars was, perhaps, more penetrating than might presently be appreciated. Since that era things have moved on and concepts and theories relating to matters Mediterranean have been cast aside or at least long forgotten. One of the most potent ideas of the day was that of ‘climatography’ – the idea that the air, or climate, possessed some specific quality, by virtue of which it directly cured disease. In an age where medical cures based on pharmaceutical treatments or prophylaxis (vaccination) were found to be unresponsive to conditions caused by invasion by micro-organism such as respiratory disorders medical scientists reverted to natural therapies to find cures. The reasons for this reversion are hardly important here but relate to a malaise in the medical profession brought on by the impact of apparently intractable chronic endemic diseases such as bronchitis and pulmonary consumption.

    EDWARD ELGAR : COLLECTED CORRESPONDENCE SERIES I VOLUME 2 AN ELGARIAN WHO'S WHO COMPILED BY MARTIN BIRD § § § Supplement 1 APRIL 2015 ELGARWORKS 2015 INTRODUCTION This is the first supplement to An Elgarian Who’s Who, published in 2014 by Elgar Works in the Edward Elgar: Collected Correspondence series. It comprises the following: & Correction of errors & Additional information unavailable at the time of publication & Additional entries where previously unknown Elgar correspondents have come to light. & Additional cross referencing & Family trees In the alphabetical entries which follow on pages 1–29, amendments and additions to the original text appear in red. Family trees have been compiled for the families of Alice’s innumerable cousins and aunts – the Dighton, Probyn, Raikes, Roberts and Thompson families. An editorial decision was made to exclude these from the original publication owing to their complexity, even in an abbreviated form. However, it is conceded that they are necessary as an aid to understanding the tangled relationships of Alice’s family, and so are included here. Names appearing in the trees in bold type are those members of the families mentioned in the Who’s Who, while spouses appear in italics. A tree is also included for the family of Roynon Jones. He, through his children and grandchildren, provided many spouses for the above-mentioned families. The family trees had been grouped together on pages that can be downloaded and printed separately on A3 or A4 paper. A-Z ABERDARE, LORD 1851–1929 Henry Campbell Bruce, 2nd Aberdare, was the eldest son of Henry Bruce, 1st Baron Aberdare, who had served as Home Secretary.

  • Willmott, Ellen, Letters, Boccanegra
    Letters from Clarence Bicknell to Ellen Willmott between 1902 and 1916 – Boccanegra gardens Susie Bicknell, December 2016 Carolyn Hanbury (who lives at the top of the Hanbury Gardens at la Mortola near Ventimiglia) and Ursula Salghetti Drioli Piacenza (whose Boccanegra house and gardens are in Ventimiglia, nearby) informed Susie and Marcus Bicknell about a collection of letters from Clarence Bicknell to Ellen Willmott who created the Boccanegra gardens. The letters are found in the archive of Berkeley Castle near Stroud in Gloucestershire (www.berkeley-castle.com ). The castle dates from 1153 and the formal garden features on a map of 1543. The Castle terraces were planted by Lady Georgina Fitzhardinge in the 1880s, followed in the early C20 by Major Robert Berkeley, who also developed the plant collections at Spetchley (Worcestershire). His aunt was Ellen Willmott of Warley Place (Essex, qv) (d 1934), one of the most famous gardeners of her time, while among visitors to Berkeley were Gertrude Jekyll (d 1932) and Vita Sackville-West (d 1962). Ellen Willmott is not known to have done any work at Berkeley Castle gardens but the archive there contains about 20 letters from Clarence Bicknell. On 30 November 2016, Susie Bicknell travelled to Berkeley Castle and, thanks to the archivist David Smith and his colleague Karen Davidson, was able to examine the letters and photograph all of them. Here is Susie's assessment of the letters. By the time this correspondence starts, Ellen Willmott (1858-1934) (photo, right) was already a celebrity in the world of horticulture. She was the fourth generation of a family who were “amateur gardeners of distinction”.
