  • Garden and Park Structures Listing Selection Guide Summary

    Garden and Park Structures Listing Selection Guide Summary

    Garden and Park Structures Listing Selection Guide Summary Historic England’s twenty listing selection guides help to define which historic buildings are likely to meet the relevant tests for national designation and be included on the National Heritage List for England. Listing has been in place since 1947 and operates under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. If a building is felt to meet the necessary standards, it is added to the List. This decision is taken by the Government’s Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS). These selection guides were originally produced by English Heritage in 2011: slightly revised versions are now being published by its successor body, Historic England. The DCMS‘ Principles of Selection for Listing Buildings set out the over-arching criteria of special architectural or historic interest required for listing and the guides provide more detail of relevant considerations for determining such interest for particular building types. See https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/principles-of- selection-for-listing-buildings. Each guide falls into two halves. The first defines the types of structures included in it, before going on to give a brisk overview of their characteristics and how these developed through time, with notice of the main architects and representative examples of buildings. The second half of the guide sets out the particular tests in terms of its architectural or historic interest a building has to meet if it is to be listed. A select bibliography gives suggestions for further reading. This guide looks at buildings and other structures found in gardens, parks and indeed designed landscapes of all types from the Middle Ages to the twentieth century.

    Greenwood Gardens, Short Hills, New Jersey Judith B

    A Garden of the Gods GREENWOOD GARDENS, SHORT HILLS, NEW JERSEY JUDITH B. TANKARD Nestled in an incomparable setting in northern New Jersey, about an hour’s commute from midtown Manhattan, is an extraordinary garden that combines the eVorts of two diVerent American families. Today, Greenwood Gardens, established as a nonprofit conservation organisation in 2003 by the descendant of the second owner, is a thriving nature conservancy that honours its unique historic gar- dens. In the early twentieth century, Joseph P. Day established a home and private pleasure grounds named Pleasant Days that was a family getaway from Day’s bustling real-estate oYce in New York City. He assembled a team of experts to design and decorate his lavish storybook house and gardens. In 1950, when the estate was in a sorry state of disrepair after Day’s death, it was rescued by Peter J. Blanchard, Jr., a lawyer and budding gentleman farmer, as a weekend retreat to enjoy with his wife, Adelaide. The fanciful mansion, which had fallen on hard times, had to be demolished, but the gardens were not only saved, but embellished with a welcome layer of evergreen formality. In the course of his career as a multi-millionaire property auction- eer, Joseph P. Day ‘sold more real estate in and around New York City [including Coney Island] than any other single human being in the history of man’. During his lifetime, he grossed more than $1.5 billion in sales of private estates, oYce buildings, factories, government buildings and even NYC’s Third Avenue Railroad.

We have been designing and building garden rooms for decades and have constructed literally thousands, each one different, designed with a specific purpose in mind. Some of our clients have an exact plan of their requirements and know precisely how the finished building should look, others have come to us with thoughts and a budget and we have worked with them to develop a design that would work for them. All our buildings are manufactured using quality timber sourced from sustainable resources. We work with a range of wood from softwood to larch, cedar and oak. You can specify unlined for the summer months or insulated and internally clad with a range of materials for a building to use all year round. Roofing materials range from heavy duty felt to slate, cedar shingles or felt tiles. We have designed and built summerhouses, garden offices, cricket pavilions, craft rooms, artists studios, oak garages, workshops, shepherds huts, glamping pods and retail units throughout the UK.

    Understanding Historic Parks and Gardens in Buckinghamshire The Buckinghamshire Gardens Trust Research & Recording Project HAMPDEN HOUSE January 2021 Roland Callingham Foundation HISTORIC SITE BOUNDARY Bucks Gardens Trust, Site Dossier: Hampden House, Wycombe District JANUARY 2021 2 INTRODUCTION Background to the Project This site dossier has been prepared as part of The Buckinghamshire Gardens Trust (BGT) Research and Recording Project, begun in 2014. This site is one of several hundred designed landscapes county‐wide identified by Bucks County Council in 1998 (including Milton Keynes District) as potentially retaining evidence of historic interest, as part of the Historic Parks and Gardens Register Review project carried out for English Heritage (now Historic England) (BCC Report No. 508). The list is not definitive and further parks and gardens may be identified as research continues or further information comes to light. Content BGT has taken the Register Review list as a sound basis from which to select sites for appraisal as part of its Research and Recording Project for designed landscapes in the historic county of Bucks (pre‐1974 boundaries). For each site a dossier is prepared by volunteers trained by BGT in appraising designed landscapes. Each dossier includes the following for the site: A site boundary mapped on the current Ordnance Survey to indicate the extent of the main part of the surviving designed landscape, also a current aerial photograph. A statement of historic significance based on the four Interests outlined in the National Planning Policy Framework and including an overview. A written description, derived from documentary research and a site visit, based on the format of Historic England Register of Parks & Gardens of special historic interest 2nd edn.
