  • The Story of Ashridge House
    Ashridge House The story of Ashridge goes back to the time when Edward I’s cousin, Edmund, acquired on his travels what he believed to be a portion of Christ’s blood. When Edmund succeeded to the title of Earl of Cornwall, he established a monastery at a spot high up in the Chilterns, some 600 ft above sea level and just two miles from Berkhamsted Castle which he had inherited and was his home. The monastery, founded in 1283, was called Ashridge College, and the Augustinian monks, known as Bonhommes, were committed to guard the precious portion of Christ’s blood and other sacred relics that were lodged there. With its royal connections, Ashridge soon became important, and. Edward I held a parliament there in 1291. While in mourning over the death of his wife Queen Eleanor, the king spent Christmas with the monks at Ashridge, ‘in the cold solitude of the Chiltern beechwoods’. In subsequent centuries Ashridge College continued to have royal patronage. The Black Prince, whose favourite home was Berkhamsted Castle, involved himself in the affairs of Ashridge College, and in his will left it his great bejewelled table to be used as an altar there. But in the years leading up to the Reformation, Ashridge College went into decline. Henry VIII was a friend of the Rector of the College, but it was only a few years after the king stayed there that he ordered the dissolution of all the monasteries. In 1539 Ashridge was closed, its treasures dispersed or destroyed, and the last monks left forever.

The splendid team of volunteers, led by Anne Rowe and Kate Harwood, make us a highly effective and respected organisation in terms of researching and conserving our historic landscape. I shall do my best to support them. The Trust also has an important educational role: our work with primary schools, which will be carried forward by Bella; courses in garden and landscape history; study days; and a wide variety of talks and guided walks. I owe pretty much all I know about the history of parks and gardens to these lively and stimulating events.

  • The Impact of Agricultural Depression and Land
    THE IMPACT OF AGRICULTURAL DEPRESSION AND LAND OWNERSHIP CHANGE ON THE COUNTY OF HERTFORDSHIRE, c.1870-1914 Julie Patricia Moore Submitted to the University of Hertfordshire in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of PhD September 2010 2 ABSTRACT The focus of this research has been on how the county of Hertfordshire negotiated the economic, social and political changes of the late nineteenth century. A rural county sitting within just twenty miles of the nation’s capital, Hertfordshire experienced agricultural depression and a falling rural population, whilst at the same time seeing the arrival of growing numbers of wealthy, professional people whose economic focus was on London but who sought their own little patch of the rural experience. The question of just what constituted that rural experience was played out in the local newspapers and these give a valuable insight into how the farmers of the county sought to establish their own claim to be at the heart of the rural, in the face of an alternative interpretation which was grounded in urban assumptions of the social value of the countryside as the stable heart of the nation. The widening of the franchise, increased levels of food imports and fears over the depopulation of the villages reduced the influence of farmers in directing the debate over the future of the countryside. This study is unusual in that it builds a comprehensive picture of how agricultural depression was experienced in one farming community, before considering how farmers’ attempts to claim ownership of the ‘special’ place of the rural were unsuccessful economically, socially and politically.
