National Trust Marks Thirty Years Since the Great Storm National Trust marks thirty years since the Great Storm Hundreds of thousands of trees across 3,000 acres of Trust woodland lost in one night Losses included 400-year-old sweet chestnuts and 245-year-old cedar trees Storm was a chance to re-evaluate the way Trust works in the outdoors and manages its woodlands Today the conservation charity works more closely with ecological processes Three decades on, the effects endure in the landscapes - and memories – of places caught up in the eye of the Great Storm. Between 2am and 6am on 16 October 1987, winds reaching up to 110mph ripped across the South East, devastating homes, woods and gardens in its path. For the National Trust, it meant the loss of hundreds of thousands of trees across 3,000 acres of land. Rangers and gardeners who witnessed the devastation first-hand found it hard to bear. “It was a battle zone” says gardener Alan Comb. He started work at Emmetts Garden, Kent, a week after the plantsman’s paradise lost 95 per cent of its woodland. “There were trees sticking up like totem poles”. Stark statistics Alan’s tale is echoed across Kent, Sussex and Surrey, home to some of the worst-hit areas. Toys Hill in Kent, the former home of National Trust founder Octavia Hill, lost 98 per cent of its trees. Fallen timber piled 40 feet high and a 245-year-old Lebanon cedar tree was strewn across the grounds of Petworth, West Sussex. At Slindon, in the South Downs, near Arundel, the Great Storm brought down a 200-year-old beech grove. Tom Hill, National Trust Trees & Woodland Officer in the South East, explains “It’s hard to comprehend the scale of the damage. The statistics – though stark - can’t do justice to the heartache of our rangers, gardeners, volunteers and local communities as they woke up to a scene of chaos on 16 October 1987.” A force of nature The Great Storm, though devastating, was a natural occurrence – the last of which took place in 1706. “This is significant” says Tom. “In the time since, we’ve witnessed the natural response to this kind of phenomenon in the way that nature has healed and restored itself, alongside the extensive conservation carried out by our teams.” The Storm and its aftermath was a chance for the Trust to re-evaluate the way it works in the outdoors and manages its woodlands. From the wreckage emerged new thinking and lessons that continue to evolve in the charity’s care and conservation work today. At Toys Hill for example, some of the devastated areas were cleared, others were replanted, following clearance, and a non-intervention zone was left alone to regenerate naturally. In the untouched areas, trees that seeded naturally were allowed to grow and, in many cases, are developing faster than those that were planted. Light allowed in by the removal of so much of the canopy caused dormant seeds to burst into life, including native clematis, honeysuckle and heather (unseen in the area for more than a century). Birds and dormice also benefited in the aftermath. The woodlark and nightjar population increased, and little owls, tawny owls, buzzards, hobbies and sparrow hawks exploited the more open woodland. Tom continues, “Today, we work more closely with natural ecological processes and, where possible, will allow damaged woodland to regenerate naturally. The National Trust looks after more than 25,000 hectares (62,000 acres) of woodland, 36% of which is in London and the South East, so it’s vital that we continue to evolve our approach to woodland management to help it to thrive.” A different view Nature remains a priority for the conservation charity and the National Trust continues to care for landscapes and manage them for people to enjoy too. New views opened up by the Storm at places like Chartwell and Scotney Castle form the backdrop to countless country walks and picnics. Fallen trees exposed tree rings hidden for centuries, enabling the Trust to date them and reveal more about the history of the special places in its care. Work to safeguard their future is underway too. At Emmetts Garden the thinning out of flower beds, over-planted after the Storm, has provided around 1,200 cuttings for the National Trust’s Plant Conservation Centre. The rare species will be cultivated, used in other gardens and kept as security for years to come. “It’s the first time in 24 years anything’s gone from us to the centre” says Alan. “Should we lose a plant at Emmetts we’ll always have the original.” Thirty years on, the determination of people and nature to not only survive but adapt and thrive after the storm endures. They are watched approvingly by the few trees that pre-date the storm at Chartwell, Kent, rising in silent memorial above the canopy.

Fifteen million trees were lost across the area affected by the storm Fifty-eight National Trust properties, in thirteen counties, from Blickling Hall in Norfolk to Slindon in West Sussex, were affected by the Great Storm. Chartwell, Emmetts Garden and Toys Hill (all in Kent) were in the eye of the storm More than 350,000 trees were lost on National Trust land in the Great Storm. Thirty- five thousand of these trees were in the Woody Plant Catalogue because of their rarity 1,200 hectares (3,000 acres) of National Trust woodland were affected by the Great Storm Today, the National Trust manages over 25,000 hectares (62,000 acres) of woodland, 36% of which is in London and the South East Case Studies Chartwell in Kent - Lost many of its beech trees in the woodland and apple trees in orchards; and the tulip tree in the garden split. The hill behind the house and garden lost most of its trees. It took two and a half years to remedy the effects of the storm at Chartwell and even thirty years on visitors can see how much of the woodland was lost in the Great Storm, with the few trees that pre-date 1987 rising randomly above the others. Emmetts Garden in Kent - Ninety-five per cent of the surrounding woodland was destroyed which left the garden much more exposed. The property lost trees including: Atlantic cedar, blown over from the lawn outside the mansion; a handkerchief tree was blown over and badly damaged but it was winched upright and is still in situ; a Judas tree was lost and not replaced; and a tulip tree was also lost. Toys Hill in Kent - this 93 acre woodland is at the highest point in Kent. It lost up to ninety- eight per cent of its trees on the plateau and it was a scene of devastation. Around 90 per cent of the trees that were lost were beech. There has been some natural re-generation of beech but the big winner post 1987 has been the birch. There is also a non-intervention zone at the property which has been left untouched for thirty years and is monitored by Natural England. Petworth in West Sussex - Oaks, chestnuts, beech, pine and yews were all lost from the Park and Pleasure Ground (approx.

  • How Did One Approach Otford Palace?
    How did one approach Otford Palace? Charles Shee How did one approach the Otford Palace? Charles Shee This article, based on the archives of the Otford and District Historical Society, was first published in the Otford History and Heritage Newsletter, Autumn 2019, no 19. It is included in the Otford Palace archive by kind permission of Charles Shee and Alan Williams, editor of the Newsletter. Walking from the Otford pond to the Palace it is easy to assume that the slightly elevated lane that passes Chantry Cottage was the access route to the 16C Archbishop ’s Palace. However, a moment’s reflection suggests that this is unlikely. The present narrow road (Palace Approach) leads towards the remaining north-western Tower, but the original main entrance, the Great Gatehouse, was actually significantly further to the east (Fig 1). The western half of the Great Gatehouse still exists, and is joined to the remaining tower by a row of cottages (Fig 1). Some readers will know the western Gatehouse as the building where the Guides used to meet. The eastern part of the Gatehouse and the long range running east towards the station, along with most of the rest of the Palace, were demolished and cleared away many years ago. Surely the original approach to the grand northern entrance of this magnificent palace must have been further to the east than the existing lane? None of the known accounts of the Palace tell us how the Great Gatehouse was approached from the north, nor are there any contemporary illustrations. The reconstruction model of the Palace by Rod Shelton (a “must see” in the Heritage Centre) and the guides to the Palace by local historians Cliff Ward and Rod Shelton leave it to the imagination how this approach way might have connected to the vicinity of the Otford pond or High Street.

  • DORSET AS a LOCAL MAGNATE, 1624-1642. in the Previous Chapter
    CHAPTER FIVE: DORSET AS A LOCAL MAGNATE, 1624-1642. In the previous chapter, I argued that Dorset's ecclesiastical patronage is best understood as one dimension of his local influence: most of the benefices in his gift lay near his Sussex estates, and he nearly always chose local men to serve them. 1 I now want to explore more fully Dorset's career as a provincial magnate from his inheritance of the earldom to the outbreak of civil war. I will suggest that muscle in local politics and government depended on three things above all: first, the tenure of specific offices, such as the Lord Lieutenancy of a county, or the High Stewardship of a borough; second, residence in a particular district, and the local knowledge which this yielded; and third, the location of landed estates. The first three sections of this chapter analyse how these variables interacted in Sussex, where Dorset was Lord Lieutenant from 1624, and where his territorial base was concentrated. We will see that Dorset's extensive selling of land to payoff his elder brother's debts did not per se reduce his local clout, and that the office of Lord Lieutenant retained considerable power, especially in military and fiscal matters. However, the Lord Lieutenancy did not necessarily confer electoral patronage, and it seems that Dorset's ------------------------- 1. See Chapter Four, above, pp. 242-3. -260- parliamentary candidates were most consistently successful where they had a local background. In the fourth section, I will strengthen these conclusions with evidence from outside Sussex, and suggest that recent discussion of the early Stuart electorate has tended to neglect the central conflict of interest between noblemen sponsoring their men-of-business and corporations seeking representatives with local knowledge.

  • Knole: Sport, Labour, and Social Contest
    7 KNOLE: SPORT, LABOUR, AND SOCIAL CONTEST Dominic Barker, Ryan Lash, Kristian Strutt1 Abstract. This chapter presents the results of the topographic and geophysical survey undertaken at Knole, Kent, in August 2013. Drawing upon a variety of primary and secondary sources, these results are situated within the context of the long-term history of the Knole landscape and its deer park. A former archiepiscopal property, and still an active deer park and private residence, Knole may appear distinctive among the other National Trust properties surveyed in this volume. However, deer parks were once also crucial elements of the landscapes attached to Bodiam, Ightham, and Scotney. Knole’s particular history and landscape demonstrate the changing role of deer parks as scenes of sport, labour, and the negotiation of social hierarchy from the late medieval period onwards. Introduction1 most of the deer park and shares stewardship of the house with the National Trust (Fig. 7.4). To a contemporary visitor, Knole House and its surrounding landscape look very different from the However distinctive it may appear today, Knole, like other National Trust properties in this book (Figs 7.1 & Bodiam, Ightham and Scotney, was a manorial property 7.2). The vast house is now laid out around seven main in the late medieval period. Indeed, construction of a courtyards, dwarfing the plans of Bodiam, Ightham manorial residence appears to have been underway when and Scotney (Fig. 7.3). Walled gardens adjacent to the William Fiennes sold the property to Thomas Bourchier, house enclose an area even larger than the house itself. Archbishop of Canterbury in 1456.

R. H. Du BOUTAY, M.A., F.R.HisT.S. IT is well known that a manor could be created and grow, as well as diminish and disappear, by the operation of land-market, family transaction and colonization, but evidence does not often survive to show in detail how this might happen. Knole in Kent is an interesting exception. Indeed, it is an outstanding example not only of a docu- mented medieval property which became a famous modern one, but of human symbiosis, for neither the lord of the great house nor the tenants of Sevenoaks could have flourished without the other. The tenants were there first, homagers and woodland colonists of the huge manor of Otford which the See of Canterbury had acquired probably in the ninth century. But in the end they, or the most active of them, made Sevenoaks agreeable enough to attract their lord from Otford to live among them, and he in turn through the presence of his great house- hold and vigorous management made Sevenoaks a rewarding place in which to hold property. The process can be studied from both sides through the collection of 130 deeds relating to Sevenoaks properties and families scattered through the Carte Antique et Miscellanee belonging to Lambeth Palace Library.' Its later stages, from about 1450 to 1537, can be seen in 1 Dorothy M.

  • Line of Descent of Sampson Lennard Brad Leonard, Bradsport.Com
    Line of Descent of Sampson Lennard Brad Leonard, bradsport.com Since there is a large amount of Leonard genealogy on the Internet based on 19th Century claims that would have James and Henry Leonard descending from Sampson Lennard, the latter’s ancestry and descendants are included here. There is considerable doubt as to whether “our” (James and Henry) Leonards are descendants of the Lennards or whether they descend from French and other ironworkers. The Thomas Lennard who was the supposed father of James, Henry, Philip, and Thomas was Thomas6 in the following, who died unmarried. The Dacre Lennards were wealthy and titled, meaning their lines of descent were matters of state and inheritance and periodically verified by the Crown. One of Sampson’s descendants was a “Blue Herald,” one of those officials checking lines of descent. If James or Henry had been in line for the title and the inheritance, this surely would have been known and documented to all. The wishful thinking about a noble descent seems to have started with several Loyalist Leonards after the Revolutionary War. Both were descendants of James and had lost fortunes in the War and were seeking recompense. One such was Daniel Leonard of Taunton, son of Ephraim, a wealthy lawyer who spent time in England and later became Chief Justice of the Bermuda Supreme Court. Another was George Leonard of Boston, son of Nathaniel, on whose ships the British evacuated Boston and who was given lands in Canada and resided there.

  • Members of Parliament
    MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT The first Parliaments of England, and subsequently of the House of Commons of England, of Great Britain and then of the United Kingdom, were composed of two members from each constituency. Indeed, a small number of these two-member seats survived until the 1950 general election, which was the first that returned members for only single-member seats. Before the Reform Act of 1832 the electorates were not only small but among the boroughs they varied in composition. Unlike some small towns of the same size or even smaller, Battle never had an MP of its own under the old régime. Only the counties, and boroughs in possession of a royal charter, could boast such a privilege. Until the reform of 1832 the county of Sussex elected two MPs, as did each of the boroughs of Arundel, Bramber, Chichester, East Grinstead, Hastings, Horsham, Lewes, Midhurst, New Shoreham, Rye, Seaford, Steyning and Winchelsea. As to the non-borough county, in fact it was inconvenient to have a single constituency, given the difficulty of journeying from many parts of the county to the county town of Chichester, and an informal agreement had been reached, rarely broken, that one member would come from the east and one from the west. It was not until 1832 that the non-borough county was divided for electoral purposes into the two areas that in 1888 became the two administrative counties (the eastern half being rather larger than it is now, further changes having been made in 1974). In 1832 East Grinstead, Seaford and Winchelsea lost their independent borough status and for electoral purposes were included in the ‘Eastern Sussex’ constituency.
