The Park has been designated because of its many historic features The extensive open parkland represents the Chantry has developed rich historical associations largest public open space in the Town.

The Park that is seen today progressively evolved and been restructured is primarily the product of two periods of under private ownership, until passing into public development, the late 18th century/early 19th trusteeship in 1927. century transformation from mainly farmland to landscaped park by the Russell/Collinson family Much of the original landscaping (c.1800) and and its mid 19th century remodelling by Sir Fitzroy indeed choice of tree species is in the Picturesque Kelly. style of Repton and Capability Brown.

Lodge; and the Hadleigh Road Gates. The At Chantry this included the parterre and knot Chantry is a large mansion which is a fine garden designed by William Andrews Nesfield. example of Italianate domestic architecture that dominated English country house design from the 1840s to the 1860s. The core of the present house was built by Sir Peyton Ventris, MP, in 1668. The present character of the house largely reflects alterations made by Sir Fitzroy Kelly from 1852 onwards. The parterre on the south front of the mansion was created by William Andrews Nesfield (1793-1881) considered by many to be one of Victorian Britain's most important landscape architects. Chantry has played an important role in the social and cultural development of Ipswich and the surrounding area. Throughout its history, the Park has hosted an array of civic events from band concerts to charity fetes to the popular Chantry Nursery Open Day. Between 1928 and 1937, the Mansion served as an International Friendship Centre and during World War II it provided temporary housing for people displaced by the Blitz bombing. Following the war the building became a convalescent home for servicemen, an NHS convalescent home and finally a Sue Ryder home. Chantry Park is of arboricultural significance, featuring trees of great age, most notably beech, oak, horse chestnut and sweet chestnut, some of which predate the present layout of the mid 19th century. The western part of the Park has been designated a County Wildlife Site. A number of bat species are present in the Park and occur throughout the whole Park. Both bats and their roosts (whether occupied or not) are protected by the wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.

Yvonne, a member of the Friends of Holywells Park, was with the weekly work party group based in the orchard when she made the discovery. Closer inspection of the find revealed that it was not a human skull after all but in fact, a Parasol mushroom that had been partly chewed, probably by mice. It’s not only mice who enjoy Parasols, they are delicious fried in butter and served on toast - the mushrooms not the mice! The Friends meet in the Leaf-yard at 10am every Wednesday, then make their way to the Holywells Orchard to carry out conservation tasks. Over the winter months, this will include coppicing, pruning and building dead hedges. An Owl Box to remember Lucky little hog Martin Cant of Ipswich Wildlife Group has David Dowding responded to an unusual request to build At the end of October I was alerted by one an owl box. of the Ipswich Borough Council gardeners to a small hedgehog he had seen in the toilets on Bourne Park, so went to have a look. The box is to serve as a memorial in remembrance of a regular visitor to Chantry Park. After consultation with the people concerned, Martin built a Tawny Owl box and attached a memorial plate to it. The box was installed by an Ipswich Borough Council parks team and can now be seen high up in an oak close to the Sue Ryder Home.

  • Written Evidence Submitted by UK Music
    Written evidence submitted by UK Music May 2021 DCMS Select Committee Submission Major Sport and Cultural Events 1.0 Introduction 1.1UK Music is the umbrella body representing the collective interests of the UK’s music industry, from songwriters and composers to artists and musicians, studio producers, professional recording studios, music managers, music publishers, major and independent record labels, music licensing companies and the live music sector. UK Music exists to represent the UK’s music sector, to drive economic growth and promote the benefits of music to British society (see the Annex for a full list of members). 1.2Live music events play a vital role in the life of the United Kingdom. A three- person band playing the Ironworks music venue in Inverness and Adele headlining Glastonbury in Somerset are performing the same role in a communal ritual that is known to everyone in the United Kingdom (UK). This shared moment can bring a room of complete strangers together, captivate a fractured nation or showcase life in the UK to the entire world. 1.3The ecology of musicians, creative freelancers and businesses who make this common experience possible not only power growth at a macro level but also nourish communities and businesses across the entire UK. 1.4This will lay out how live music events can: - Boost the UK economy. - Support the “levelling up” agenda. - Bring the UK together. - Promote the UK to the world. 1.5 To support this activity a number of policy steps should be taken: 1. Extension of 5% VAT level for culture tickets to the end of the 2021/22 financial year.
