Eastcote House Gardens Management Plan ______ Eastcote House Gardens Management Plan 2010 – 2014 Green Spaces Team London Borough of Hillingdon 2011, 2012, 2013 “Outstanding” It’s Your Neighbourhood category 2010 Community Garden Award 2011 Eastcote House Gardens Management Plan ____________________________________________________________________________________ Special Note: When written, this management plan initially dealt with the Eastcote House Gardens only. In May 2010 Hillingdon Council, in conjunction with English Heritage, funded the development of a Conservation Management Plan (CMP) with a focus on the Grade II listed buildings (The Stables, Dovecote and the Garden Wall) which are currently on the English Heritage Buildings at Risk register. MRDA Architects & Conservation Consultants were engaged to compile the CMP. The Steering group established to oversee this project consists of: • three Ward Councillors, • two LBH Conservation Officers, • a LBH Green Space Officer, • representative from English Heritage, • two members from the Friends of Eastcote House Gardens MAG, • one representative from Ruislip, Northwood & Eastcote Local History Society • MRDA representatives The CMP was adopted by Hillingdon Council in September 2010. The Steering Group now meets at intervals to monitor progress. Key elements of the CMP have now been included in this document. 2 Eastcote House Gardens Management Plan ____________________________________________________________________________________ 1. Introduction to Eastcote House Gardens Records show Eastcote House, in its various forms, has stood on this site since before 1507 and was the principal residence of the Hawtrey-Deane family from 1527 to 1930. Following a short period when it was owned by a building company, the site was acquired by the Council in 1938 to ensure it’s historical features were retained. The Dovecote, Walled Garden, and Stables still remain and reflect the long history of this attractive site. Visitors can take a pleasant stroll through the grounds and enjoy the peace and quiet of the walled garden, which features herb beds originally planted in 1977 for the H.M. The Queen's Silver Jubilee. The Gardens are supported by an active ‘Friends of’ group (Friends of EHG) who, amongst other activities, conduct monthly gardening sessions. The gardens are a spectacular and enjoyable place to visit, whatever the weather 3 Eastcote House Gardens Management Plan ____________________________________________________________________________________ 2.

It lies immediately east of the historic Eastcote Village and is included in the Conservation Area. Much of Eastcote House Gardens is short-mown, undulating amenity grassland. Many fine old ornamental trees grace the landscape. The significance of the word 'gardens' in the name of the site is due mainly to the Walled Garden where horticultural expertise is displayed in the maintenance of shrubs, herbaceous borders and herb beds. An orchard retains the tradition of past domestic use and Mulberry, Fig, Apples, Walnut and Medlar are tended. It is these features which led to the designation of the site as one of Hillingdon Borough's 'Gardens of Excellence'. The Stables and Dovecot, together with the walls of the Walled Garden, stand testimony to the status of the Entering the walled garden through residents when the House was in its heyday and enjoyed the arbour creates a sense of local prestige; they are all listed buildings. anticipation The River Pinn, which carries 'The Celandine Route', Haydon Hall grounds, Forge Green Open Space and Long Meadow all lie to the north of the site and together form a green and pleasant matrix of public open space.

  • Ruislip, Northwood & Eastcote Local History Society Everyday Life
    Ruislip, Northwood & Eastcote Local History Society Everyday Life on the Manor of Ruislip c. 1200-1500: Workshop on Manorial Records Led by Dr Virginia Bainbridge: Friday 11 May: 2.30-4.30 pm: The Stables, Eastcote House Gardens 2.30-3.00 – Life on Ruislip Manor for the medieval tenants of the Abbey of Bec: Powerpoint introduction to the manorial system and using its records as sources for local history 1. Origins of the Manorial System The origin of the manorial system stretches back into the era long before written records. The earliest documents recording land ownership are records of royal administration: Anglo-Saxon charters recording grants of land, Domesday Book written in 1086 recording changes in ownership and property values after the Norman Conquest, and the Pipe Rolls written by the scribes of the Exchequer from 1130 recording taxation collected by the sheriff (shire-reeve) of each county. 2. What is a Manor – Lords and Peasants – The ‘Feudal Pyramid’ From the time of the Norman Conquest, the legal fiction that the king owned all the land and granted it to his vassals governed the pattern of landholding. The great lords, the barons, abbots and bishops, held great estates from the king composed of many manors. Lesser lords, knights and gentry, held one or more manors, either directly from the king or from his barons and churchmen. By the late 12th century a market in parcels of freehold land and even whole estates had developed. Knightly families paid scribes to write deeds recording their exchange of property rights, both leases and sales.
