  • 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.

    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.

  • The 2Nd Marquis of Rockingham's Properties in 1776
    THE 2ND MARQUIS OF ROCKINGHAM’S PROPERTIES IN 1776 Stephen Cooper In the 18th century the owners of Wentworth Woodhouse were noblemen. It was a pre-democratic age, when the aristocracy (along with the gentry) still enjoyed enormous wealth and exercised enormous power. The 2nd Marquis of Rockingham (1730-1782) was one of the richest men in Britain, and was Prime Minister twice, though briefly. He owned a large estate in what we now call South Yorkshire, and an even larger one in County Wicklow in Ireland. He sat in the House of Lords, controlled two ‘pocket boroughs’ and influenced elections in dozens of constituencies in the House of Commons, was Lord Lieutenant in his home County of Yorkshire, and controlled the militia there. He also owned or leased several houses apart from Wentworth House (as he called it). My curiosity was aroused when I happened to read the account of a trial in the Proceedings of the Old Bailey, London’s Central Criminal Court, 1674-1913. On 30 August 1786 one John Brown was indicted for ‘feloniously stealing a black gelding, price £14, the property of John Sharman of Girton near Ryegate in Surrey. One of the witnesses for the prosecution was William Bruce, who was a shoe-maker and boot-maker at Lambeth-Marsh, next door to the Queen’s Head. He said that the accused rented ‘one pair of stairs’ in Sharman’s house, which consisted of three rooms in all. When asked what sort of man Brown was, Sharman replied: He told me when he came to lodge with me, he was a gentleman’s servant, and I having [sic] been a gentleman’s servant myself; I lived with the Marquis of Rockingham about ten years ago;1 and at Wimbledon I lived with him seven years; I was footman to my Lady:2 I went down to Wentworth with him, and to Little Harriden [sic]; that was the very time when they left that house on Parson’s Green, before they went to Mr Rush’s House at Wimbledon.

  • Hazelwood Park
    YORKSHIRE GARDENS TRUST Selby District Historic Designed Landscapes Project Hazelwood Park Report by Susan Kellerman and Dick Knight [June 2018] 1. CORE DATA 1.1 Name of site Hazelwood Park NB. The house known today as Hazlewood Castle, together with its historic park and estate, have undergone a number of variations in name and spelling over the last eight centuries. For the purposes of this report on the designed landscape, Hazelwood Park has been adopted, in line with the Historic Environment Record. Direct contemporary references will remain as in the original. 1.2 Grid reference SE4488339770 1.3 Administrative area Selby District of North Yorkshire (current), West Riding of Yorkshire (historic) Parish: Stutton with Hazlewood; Leeds 1.4 Current site designation Not on the Historic England Register of Historic Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in England 2. SUMMARY OF HISTORIC INTEREST Hazelwood was the seat of the Vavasour family for over 800 years, from the time of Domesday until the estate was put up for sale in 1907 (Figures 1, 2). At that time, the estate of 3806 acres (1540.234 hectares) comprised Hazelwood Castle, St Leonard’s Chapel, gardens, parkland, woodland, farms, farmland (arable and livestock), cottages, etc. In addition to Hazelwood, the Vavasours owned manors and land across Yorkshire and in Staffordshire. Failing to find a buyer in 1907, the Castle and the reduced estate of 1065 acres was again offered for sale in 1908. Subsequent changes of ownership led to further break-up of the estate, and culminated in the Castle itself becoming a hotel in 1997.
