Volunteers’ Miscellanea How sad is this? Perusing the 1861 Census, as you do, Angela Clifford came across the following entry for a Mill Hill baker’s family. In a family of seven people: husband/wife and five children - three daughters and two sons age 12 years to 8 months – there is just one servant, Emma Franklin’ age 14. Under the column for ‘Where Born’ it just says “Deserted by Parents, not known”. One wonders what life was like for 14-year-old Emily and if/how it changed as she grew up. And another sad memorial In her research in St Martin’s churchyard, Elaine Parker came across an inscription on a headstone that records the loss of an eldest son, George, very young and far from home after some remarkable experiences. The epitaph, in part, reads: .

  • Nonsuch Park
    Nonsuch Park Best Value Review Report and Improvement Plan January 2002 Nonsuch Park Best Value Review REPORT OF REVIEW Executive Summary The best value review of Nonsuch Park has been undertaken by a team drawn from the two authorities which fund the Park and which manage it through a Joint Management Committee drawn equally from the two authorities. In undertaking the review, the team commissioned extensive consultation of the many interested parties and made comparisons with other historic parks, notably the National Trust’s Morden Hall Park. The team also looked at current thinking on good practice such as the Green Flag scheme and recent findings of the Urban Green Spaces Task Force and considered the financial arrangements of the Park Joint Management Committee. This review has highlighted that there is a gap between current thinking on good management of historic country parks and the way Nonsuch Park has been managed in the past. The review puts forward a comprehensive package of proposals which aim to improve the recreational, ecological and historical potential of the Park. These include several proposals which can be implemented quickly at minimal cost and which would produce tangible evidence of the authorities commitment to continuous improvement. In addition, a number of potential sources of income and savings in current expenditure have been identified. A key finding of the review was that there was no clear policy statement describing the role the Park was intended to fulfil in the community. The review team has drafted

It is our duty as the Local Planning Authority to ensure in our decision-making that this special character is not only preserved but, wherever possible, enhanced. It is vital for those drawing-up development proposals to understand the character of a place, and for decision-makers to ensure that proposals are in keeping.
