  • 1 Conservation Casework Log Notes March 2018
    CONSERVATION CASEWORK LOG NOTES MARCH 2018 The GT conservation team received 136 new cases in England and TWO cases in Wales during February, in addition to ongoing work on previously logged cases. Written responses were submitted by the GT and/or CGTs for the following cases. In addition to the responses below, 47 ‘No Comment’ responses were lodged by the GT and 5 by CGTs in response to planning applications included in the weekly lists. Site County GT Ref Reg Proposal Written Response Grade ENGLAND Bristol Local Plan Avon E17/1570 n/a LOCAL PLAN Bristol Local Plan CGT WRITTEN RESPONSE 31.03.2018 Review We are grateful for the opportunity to comment on this Local Plan Review. As previously notified to you, The Gardens Trust, which is the statutory consultee on matters concerning registered parks and gardens, is now working closely with County Gardens Trusts, and the responsibility for commenting on Local Plan Reviews in this context has now passed to Avon Gardens Trust. The Trust notes that Policy BCS22 Conservation and the historic environment in the Core Strategy of June 2011, and Policy DM31 of the Site Allocations and Development Management Policies of July 2014 are proposed to be retained. The Local Plan Review consultation document makes a number of strategic proposals, for example to meet housing need, to provide new transport infrastructure, and in respect of employment, land. Such proposals may, depending on location, detailed siting and design, have an impact on registered and unregistered historic parks and gardens. 1 The Trust does not seek to comment on such proposals at the present time, but would expect to be engaged in its role as statutory consultee as and when the details of such proposals are known.

  • Growing Vines Revised
    Growing Vines. Jillian Macready. Ickworth, Suffolk. Sometime in 1994 Charles and I went for a walk in the Park; the park belonging to Ickworth House, a National Trust property previously owned by the Bristol family whose ancestor was the Bishop of Derry, one of only two Earl Bishops in English history. From the other side of the lake, we could see the splendid 5 acre walled garden, which once supplied all their vegetable needs. We were looking for somewhere to plant vines; I have a horticultural background and planted Wyken Vineyard and Charles had been in the wine trade but wanted to produce English wine. We were very keen to plant in 1995, it being the centenary year of the National Trust. It was a good time to plant a vineyard, indeed it was urgent, since the English Wine Industry had had several good grape producing years as temperatures rose during the mid 90’s and a planting ban was talked of. This was all explained in a glossy brochure The Vine Terrace at Ickworth presented to the National Trust. Our scheme was approved with unusual speed for the Trust, having beaten all other proposals over the years to revamp the site. This former kitchen garden was home only to a donkey and some sheep, the old Victorian greenhouses having long since gone. We got our skates on and managed to plant half the vineyard with white wine grapes, Bacchus and Auxerrois. On May 13 th 1995 our babies were born, albeit out of wedlock as Charles and I did not marry until 2001.

  • 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.

Why Use Walls in a Garden? In this garden, as in English gardens through- out history, walls are both practical and decorative. They protect plants from cold winds and hungry animals. They radiate heat, thereby prolonging the growing season. They create intimate enclosed spaces while blocking out unwanted noise or unsightly Stroll through the views. And they provide an attractive English Walled Garden growing surface. Built to Charm to discover the In addition to its walls, the English Walled history and beauty of Garden features many charming garden ornaments and built structures that help give English gardening. each space its own character.

  • Garden History Lucky Dip Entry Level Prompt Sheets
    SHARING REPTON: HISTORIC LANDSCAPES FOR ALL Garden History Lucky Dip Entry Level prompt sheets The Garden History Lucky Dip is an activity to encourage informal interest in garden history. The Garden History Lucky Dip uses everyday objects to introduce a particular topic. The prompt sheets were developed to lead the conversation about the topic, stimulating discussion within a small group of participants. The notes provide short stories about garden history to generate interest and inspire further involvement. The Garden History Lucky Dip activity is intended to be an interactive workshop, and is suitable to do within an hour, easily conducted over a lunch break or long tea break at an event, AGM, or other meeting. These prompt sheets are aimed at three different levels of interest and knowledge in garden history. Entry Level is aimed at those who have little knowledge of garden history or gardening. Prepared by Dr Audrey Gerber https://www.audreygerber.co.uk/ Object: Brick Subject : Walled gardens Prompt questions: Where do you think bricks might be used in a garden? Steps, paving, garden buildings. Lead conversation to walls, and then introduce the walled kitchen garden. Conversation teasers: What would bricks add to a walled garden? (shelter from wind, protection from deer and rabbits, warmth from the sun). Can you think what the three main things are that plants need to grow? (water, sunshine, soil). Do you or your family ever grow vegetables? If they have lived in a different country ask what they can grow there and not in the UK. Garden History story: Walled gardens were important to the grand estates of the 17th and 18th centuries in Britain, growing the fruit and vegetables needed to feed the estate family, all of the servants, and the many visitors that arrived.

  • Circe's Garden: Patterns in Lady Londonderry's Design And
    CIRCE'S GARDEN: PATTERNS IN LADY LONDONDERRY'S DESIGN AND MANAGEMENT OF MOUNT STEWART NORTHERN IRELAND 1917-1955 A Report Prepared by Stephanie N. Bryan, MLA for The Royal Oak Foundation, The National Trust of England, Wales, and Northern Ireland and Mount Stewart Gardens 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would first like to thank the Royal Oak Foundation for creating this once in a lifetime opportunity, as well as the Mudge Foundation for generously funding this fellowship. During my two-month stay in Northern Ireland, I have gained more knowledge about historic landscape management, garden history, British culture and history, and horticulture than I ever could have imagined. I look forward to applying a great deal of what I have learned at Mount Stewart to my future work with historic cultural landscapes in the United States. It is important to acknowledge the National Trust team at Mount Stewart for their warm hospitality, insight into the gardens, assistance with various research materials, and patience in answering my myriad questions. I would like to thank Head Gardener Neil Porteous for sharing his vast knowledge and experience of Mount Stewart, as well as his infectious energy and passion for the landscape. Lady Rose and Peter Lauritzen graciously shared their personal memories of Lady Londonderry and granted me access to the many significant primary resources that served as a basis for this report. Madge Smart kindly pulled sources from the archives and provided me space to work from the estate office. Finally, I would like to thank my mentors and colleagues at the University of Georgia for helping me cultivate my interests in historic landscape management and garden history.

  • Notes from the Unpublished Papers of Dorothy Stroud
    A list of landscapes that have been attributed to ‘Capability’ Brown This list, now in its fifth edition(16th December, 2016), has been compiled by John Phibbs from the work of others, primarily Dorothy Stroud, but also David Brown, Karen Lynch, Nick Owen, Susanne Seymour, Roger Turner, Peter Willis, and, in particular, my collaborator, Steffie Shields, who has checked and added to its drafts. The lists have also been shown to and commented on by the County Gardens Trusts. Great credit is due to all parties for their help. The list of attributions to Brown has elicited a good deal of correspondence for which I am very grateful, and among many others, thanks are due to Don Josey, Surrey Gardens Trust; Terence Reeves-Smyth and Patrick Bowe from Ireland; S.V.Gregory, Staffordshire Gardens Trust; Joanna Matthews, Oxfordshire Gardens Trust; Christine Hodgetts, Warwickshire Gardens Trust; the Dorset Gardens Trust; Kate Harwood, Hertfordshire Gardens Trust; Val Bott, Susan Darling and Barbara Deason, London Parks & Gardens Trust; Janice Bennetts, Wendy Bishop, Michael Cousins, Dr Patrick Eyres, Jane Furze, Tony Matthews, Jenifer White and Min Wood. Many correspondents have written with material about what Brown might have done at various places. I have to emphasise that the attributions list attempts to include all the places where he might have offered advice. It asks neither whether that advice was acted on, nor whether he was paid. The determination of what might have been done at any of these places is a distinct process and will always be open to question. The aim of this list is to assess the likelihood of each and all of the attributions that have been made to Brown.
