DESCRIPTION Burton Grange is a detached property constructed of brick under a tiled roof. Built in the 1970’s Burton Grange is believed to occupy the site of a former nurseries and enjoys a private position sitting centrally within its plot surrounded by mature trees.

Whilst the accommodation is entirely suitable for family living it is dated and would benefit from a scheme of upgrading to meet with modern standards.

Let us hope this beautiful summer weather continues for our residential to Herefordshire. This issue of the Bulletin is not without sadness as we remember two landscape history ‘greats’ who are no longer with us. In March CSLH lost Oliver Bott, one of it’s founding fathers and a great supporter of our Society. Our thoughts and very warmest wishes are with Elizabeth at this very difficult time. In memory of Oliver we shall be holding a special commemorative lecture in his honour next year. Towards the end of June we were shocked to learn of the sudden passing of Mick Aston of ‘Time Team’ fame.
