  • Collections Cecil Papers the Cecil Papers Are the Core Collection in Hatfield House Archives. They Consist of the Papers of Will
    Collections Cecil Papers The Cecil Papers are the core collection in Hatfield House Archives. They consist of the papers of William Cecil (1521-98) Lord Burghley and his son Robert Cecil (1563-1612) First Earl of Salisbury. There are also a few papers of William Cecil (1591-1668) Second Earl of Salisbury. The Cecil Papers comprise about 30,000 documents. They include grants from the Crown, legal documents, state papers, treaties, correspondence and political memoranda. There are some papers of the Earl of Essex and letters from Sir Walter Ralegh and Queen Elizabeth I. The Cecil Papers have been digitised and are available to view at the British Library, as well as at some universities Other papers of Lord Burghley survive amongst the State Papers in The National Archives <www.nationalarchives.gov.uk> and in the Lansdowne Collection in the British Library <www.bl.uk>. Similarly, many of the papers of Robert Cecil are to be found in the State Papers in The National Archives. The Cecil Papers have been comprehensively catalogued and described in the Calendar of the Salisbury (Cecil) Manuscripts which was published in 24 volumes by the Historical Manuscripts Commission between 1883 and 1976. It is advisable to look at the calendar before making any inquiry about the Cecil Papers. Sets are available at The National Archives, the British Library and in various academic and reference libraries. Estate Papers We hold estate papers relating to various Cecil properties, scattered among many counties. They consist of title deeds, manorial records, wills, conveyances, leases, accounts and legal papers. http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/manor-search The principal properties are situated in Hertfordshire (there were 13,389 acres in 1883) and Dorset (3,118 acres in 1883).

However they are merely the centre pieces of thriving estates, the wider activities of which are often less understood. The estates have been at the centre of their local communities for more than four hundred years, and continue to flourish in spite of the challenges that the passage of time has brought. The team that runs the estates recognises that in order to maintain the high standards of the past and adapt to today’s demands, it is crucial that the estates remain fully engaged with their respective communities. Estates cannot stand still; nothing is more certain than terminal decline if preservation of the past outweighs the needs of the present and future. The estates are managed on behalf of the Marquess of Salisbury by Gascoyne Cecil Estates. While the challenges evolve, the ethos behind Gascoyne Cecil Estates approach to management remains constant: • To enhance our environment and secure the long-term prosperity both of the estates and their extended communities. • To preserve the best of what we already hold, improving this with new homes, high-quality public spaces and thriving businesses all of which will provide employment and support to local communities for years to come.

  • The Impact of Agricultural Depression and Land
    THE IMPACT OF AGRICULTURAL DEPRESSION AND LAND OWNERSHIP CHANGE ON THE COUNTY OF HERTFORDSHIRE, c.1870-1914 Julie Patricia Moore Submitted to the University of Hertfordshire in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of PhD September 2010 2 ABSTRACT The focus of this research has been on how the county of Hertfordshire negotiated the economic, social and political changes of the late nineteenth century. A rural county sitting within just twenty miles of the nation’s capital, Hertfordshire experienced agricultural depression and a falling rural population, whilst at the same time seeing the arrival of growing numbers of wealthy, professional people whose economic focus was on London but who sought their own little patch of the rural experience. The question of just what constituted that rural experience was played out in the local newspapers and these give a valuable insight into how the farmers of the county sought to establish their own claim to be at the heart of the rural, in the face of an alternative interpretation which was grounded in urban assumptions of the social value of the countryside as the stable heart of the nation. The widening of the franchise, increased levels of food imports and fears over the depopulation of the villages reduced the influence of farmers in directing the debate over the future of the countryside. This study is unusual in that it builds a comprehensive picture of how agricultural depression was experienced in one farming community, before considering how farmers’ attempts to claim ownership of the ‘special’ place of the rural were unsuccessful economically, socially and politically.

I am not going to claim that we have changed the face of the historic landscape in Hertfordshire in quite the same way as he did. But I think we have, over 25 years, definitely made a big difference. If we take the walks leaflets as one example from this year, they will have a lasting impact outside of HGT. They are brilliant walking guides with a good story. They required a huge amount of work and I would like to thank the CB300 committee for all they did and hope that the award of the Bunty Oakley Vase to Alison and Tosh Moller recognised all they did as a committee. Bunty Oakley was a key founder member and with Joan Stuart-Smith did a great job in recruiting loyal members.
