The six-week break is great for the kids, but not so much fun for parents if they both work and need to make child-care arrangements. Children usually need a rest after a long year at their desks and it is time for them to kick back and relax. I grew up in the Northern Ireland countryside where we had glorious 10-week summer holidays, which I spent fishing for trout on the Sixmilewater near Templepatrick in County Antrim. Come rain or shine, I’d be on the banks often walking for miles before making my way home – mostly uphill – on my bike. My dad would sometimes be sent out looking for me, finding a weary soul trudging up the hill near our home close to midnight. No one seemed too worry too much, or perhaps I simply did not notice. Looking back, they seem like carefree days and I suppose they were. Summer holidays are always the perfect way for families to Relationship at get reacquainted in a world where parents lead such busy lives.

  • Ellen Terry's Letters to Alex Ridley
    ADDENDUM Ellen Terry’s letters to Alex Ridley Ellen Terry bought Smallhythe Place in 1899 but did not make use of the house until some essential works had been completed a couple of years later. From then until her death in 1928 Ellen Terry was a customer of Mr Ridley and wrote to him on numerous occasions, usually about her outstanding bills or photographs that he had taken in his studio in Tenterden or at Smallhythe Place. In 2016, Tenterden and District Museum donated to the National Trust at Smallhythe Place nearly two dozen letters and notes written by Ellen Terry to Alex Ridley. They are mostly brief and to the point but reveal the nature of the woman and, I think, show that she was perhaps not the easiest of clients. Unfortunately, Ridley’s replies to her letters have not survived so we can only speculate as to what he might have written in response to her missives. Few of Ellen’s letters are fully dated but it has been possible to sort them into an approximate chronological order based on their content and known dates of photographs in the Smallhythe Place collection. The correspondence came to an end in 1928 when Ellen Terry passed away and, co-incidentally, Alex Ridley retired from his business. Initially, the relationship seems not to have started well - if her forthright two-page letter of December 1902, written from her home in King’s Road, Chelsea is any guide. 31 December 1902 Dear Sir, I received the photograph cards but am much disappointed in them.

  • 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.

    Smallhythe Place – History 1514 – 1939 There is very little known about the early history of Smallhythe Place because no documentary records of the origins, purpose or construction of the house have been discovered. The description below is taken from a number of specialist surveys of the property Origins The precise age of the house is not known. The style of the building suggests that it was built in the early 16th century. A fire on 31 July 1514 destroyed some of Smallhythe and it is possible that the house was built shortly after the fire. Purpose The original purpose of the house is not known. It originally had two front doors and an unusual internal layout, indicating that the house had been designed for semi-public, perhaps business, use. Traditionally, the house was believed to have been the port reeve's house but again there is no documentary evidence for the existence of a port reeve at Smallhythe. It is possible that the house may have served as an inn or court house or may have been the home/office of a local shipbuilder. However articles in the Daily News of 24 and 27 July 1928, the time of Ellen Terry's death, state that the house may have been the residence of the priest of the nearby church, and that the church had been established by Dutch settlers. Unusual construction The need to incorporate different layouts on the ground and first floors let to the use of some interesting and innovative details of construction. The frame of the building is very unusual and only two other buildings are known with similar frames.
