A Geotrail in Richmond Park
A Geotrail in Richmond Park 1 Richmond Park Geotrail In an urban environment it is often difficult to ‘see’ the geology beneath our feet. This is also true within our open spaces. In Richmond Park there is not much in the way of actual rocks to be seen but it is an interesting area geologically as several different rock types occur there. It is for this reason that the southwest corner has been put forward as a Locally Important Geological Site. We will take clues from the landscape to see what lies beneath. Richmond Park affords fine views to both west and east which will throw a wider perspective on the geology of London. Richmond Park is underlain by London Clay, about 51 million years old. This includes the sandier layers at the top, known as the Claygate beds. The high ground near Kingston Gate includes the Claygate beds but faulting along a line linking Pen Ponds to Ham Gate has allowed erosion on the high ground around Pembroke Lodge. Both high points are capped by the much younger Black Park Gravel, which is only about 400,000 years old, the earliest of the Thames series of terraces formed after the great Anglian glaciation. Younger Thames terrace gravels are also to be found in Richmond Park. Useful maps and guide books The Royal Parks have a printable pdf map of Richmond Park on their website: www.royalparks.org.uk/parks/richmond-park/map-of-richmond-park.

Richmond Park Golf Club Annual Report
RICHMOND PARK GOLF CLUB ANNUAL REPORT - 2017 In 2016 I reported that we had a year of ‘relative normality’ without any disruptive external influences. For 2017 I can report the same and apart from a few days when the weather worked against us we had a year with few interruptions and the fixture list played out very much as planned. Although early summer was roasting in parts, the full 2017 summer period was not as sunny as many would have liked, but the dry weather helped to keep the rough in check and some very low scores were recorded. At the beginning of 2017 we said a big thank you to our departing captains Paul Brown and Lia Donath for their stewardship from the beginning of 2015. During their tenure we had seen the near doubling of the Club’s activity with the commencement of midweek golf; quite a momentous period in the history of the Club. For 2017 we welcomed Nick Rogers and Alison Chadwick as our new Club Captain and Lady Captain. Between them both, Nick and Alison have many years of club membership and committee service and it was very easy for them to settle into their new roles. Experience has taught us that when there is a period of operational stability at the Park one consequence is to provide the correct environment for the Club to grow and we have seen this happen in two ways during 2017. In the notes below we see that our membership numbers have increased for 2017 but it is also encouraging that compared to 2016 we have seen our average weekly attendances increase by a figure of 20% for our weekend and midweek games.

John Lewis' Re-Establishment of Pedestrian Access to Richmond Park
JOHN LEWIS' RE-ESTABLISHMENT OF PEDESTRIAN ACCESS � TO RICHMOND PARK � Purpose This note sets out details of the legal action taken by John Lewis in the 1750s to preserve rights of access to the Park. Some historical background is given to put Lewis' actions into context. Sources The note draws, inter alia, on factual accounts in the following books: ● "Richmond Park: the history of a Royal Deer Park" by Michael Baxter Brown (1985) ● "A History of Richmond Park" by CL Collenette (1937) ● "Richmond Park: Portrait of a Royal Playground" by Pamela Fletcher Jones (1972) ● "The Royal Manor of Richmond with Petersham, Ham & Kew" by Mrs Arthur G (Nancy) Bell (1907) ● "Palaces and Parks of Richmond and Kew" by John Cloake and ● "The Walker's Guide - Richmond Park" by David McDowall (2006) The debt to the writers of these books is acknowledged. Enclosure of the Park In 1637, Charles I completed the enclosure of what is now Richmond Park as his new hunting ground. Prior to that the land, which was at first called "Richmond New Park", had consisted principally of lands owned by the parishes of Ham, Mortlake, Petersham, Roehampton, Kingston, Richmond and Putney. Two farms - Hill Farm and Hartleton Farm - were also located here, and a significant number of landowners had holdings. Certain roads were also in place (see map overleaf). In short, the area was much like any other rural area around which one might have built an eight-mile wall. It can be seen that, prior to enclosure, the principal roads ran between (i) Richmond Gate and Ladderstile Gate and (ii) Ham Gate and a point at the north-eastern end of an ancient road called Deane's Lane.
