  • Newark Park Visit by John Bird 26 October 2008
    Newark Park Visit by John Bird 26 October 2008 South West Centre members paid an autumn visit to a National Trust property set amid rolling Gloucestershire countryside, close to Wotton-under-Edge and overlooking Ozleworth Bottom. Newark Park was first built as a hunting lodge for Sir Nicholas Poyntz, a member of the court of King Henry VIII, from stone taken from the nearby, and recently dissolved Kingswood Abbey. The original lodge was finished by 1550 in time for a visit by Henry and Anne Boleyn to the Poyntz family home Acton Court a few miles away at Iron Acton. The original Tudor east Front In 1790 the lodge was completely remodelled for new owners by the Georgian architect James Wyatt. The original, east facing Tudor front was retained and a “new” south facing Georgian Gothic was added. Both together with some parts of the interior featured in the recent BBC drama serial Tess of the d'Urbervilles. Newark Park is renowned for its views over the Gloucestershire countryside, and no modern structures such as electricity pylons, motorways, bridges or any other 20th Century buildings can be seen from the lodge. Later West Front Newark Park is owned by The National Trust and, as most other NT properties, closes for the Winter months. We chose 26th October therefore, the last Sunday before the winter closure, for the South West Centre visit so we could enjoy the colours of the autumn leaves and hopefully some fine Autumnal weather. However, the early part of the day was rather damp, and as we drove up onto the western edge of the Cotswold hills overnight mist clung to the higher land cutting off not only the tree tops but more distant views.

  • Bibliography Sources for Further Reading May 2011 National Trust Bibliography
    Bibliography Sources for further reading May 2011 National Trust Bibliography Introduction Over many years a great deal has been published about the properties and collections in the care of the National Trust, yet to date no single record of those publications has been established. The following Bibliography is a first attempt to do just that, and provides a starting point for those who want to learn more about the properties and collections in the National Trust’s care. Inevitably this list will have gaps in it. Do please let us know of additional material that you feel might be included, or where you have spotted errors in the existing entries. All feedback to [email protected] would be very welcome. Please note the Bibliography does not include minor references within large reference works, such as the Encyclopaedia Britannica, or to guidebooks published by the National Trust. How to use The Bibliography is arranged by property, and then alphabetically by author. For ease of use, clicking on a hyperlink will take you from a property name listed on the Contents Page to the page for that property. ‘Return to Contents’ hyperlinks will take you back to the contents page. To search by particular terms, such as author or a theme, please make use of the ‘Find’ function, in the ‘Edit’ menu (or use the keyboard shortcut ‘[Ctrl] + [F]’). Locating copies of books, journals or specific articles Most of the books, and some journals and magazines, can of course be found in any good library. For access to rarer titles a visit to one of the country’s copyright libraries may be necessary.

EARLY THIS MONTH IN THE HOPE IT BRIGHTENS YOUR LOCKDOWN EDITOR’S NOTE: As you will see this Bulletin is also in a new format which it is hoped you will enjoy. Your feedback on this – good or bad as long as it is polite and constructive - will be very welcome. Details of your Committee have not been forgotten but will be found at the end of this Bulletin. DESPERATELY NEEDED: SPEAKER SECRETARY GROUP LEADER FOR THE GEOLOGY GROUP Wotton-under -Edge Wotton-under-Edge is a market town within the Stroud district of Gloucestershire which is located near the southern fringe of the Cotswolds. The Cotswold Way long-distance footpath passes through the town. Standing on the B4058, Wotton is about 5 miles (8.0 km) from the M5 road, on the Bristol to Birmingham line. History - The first record of the town is in an Anglo-Saxon Royal Charter of King Edmund I, who in AD 940 leased four hides of land in Wudetun to Eadric. The name Wudetun means the enclosure, homestead or village (tun) in or near the wood (wude).The Edge refers to the limestone escarpment of the Cotswold Edge which includes the hills of Wotton Hill and Tor Hill that flank the town. In the 1086 Domesday Book listing, Wotton was in the hundred of Dudstone. Kingswood Abbey was founded in 1139, but all that remains is a 16th-century Cistercian gatehouse.
