  • National Trust Annual Report 2020/21
    National Trust Annual Report 2020/21 National Trust Annual Report 2020/21 1 The National Trust in brief Our purpose To look after special places throughout England, Wales and Northern Ireland for everyone, for ever. About us In 1895, our founders, Octavia Hill, Robert Hunter and Hardwicke Rawnsley, pledged to preserve our historical and natural places. Their aim was not only to save important sites, but to open them up for everyone to enjoy. From this trio of environmental pioneers, the National Trust was created – and their original values are still at the heart of everything we do 125 years later. As Europe’s largest conservation charity, we look after special places for the nation to enjoy. We rely on our millions of members, volunteers, staff and supporters. Without your help, we wouldn't be able to protect the miles of coastline, woodland and countryside, and the hundreds of historic buildings, gardens and precious collections that are in our care. The National Trust cares for: • more than 500 historic houses, castles, parks, and gardens • more than one million items in our collections • more than 250,000 hectares of land • more than 780 miles of coastline This Annual Report can also be viewed online at www.nationaltrustannualreport.org.uk The National Trust for Places of Historic Interest or Natural Beauty is a registered charity (no. 205846). It is incorporated and has powers conferred on it by Parliament through the National Trust Acts 1907 to 1971 and under the Charities (National Trust) Order 2005. The Trust is governed by a Board of Trustees whose composition appears on page 48.

  • Download City Events, February 2016
    _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ February 2016 Published by FCC in conjunction with the Archdeaconry of London www.cityevents.website _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Sword Rests of the City The historic churches of the City of London contain many unusual and interesting furnishings and fittings. Among the most intriguing are the sword rests which are present in so many of the churches in the “square mile”, but in very few other locations in the country. Sword rests, or sword stands as they are sometimes called, were originally installed in City churches to hold the Lord Mayor's sword of state when he visited a different church every Sunday, a practice which ceased in 1883. The Lord mayor would be accompanied by various officers of the City, including the swordbearer, who would place the ceremonial sword upright in a sword rest, most commonly attached to the front pews. The oldest surviving rest dates from 1664 and the majority were installed in the 18th and 19th centuries. There are 58 surviving sword rests originating from City churches or livery halls. Two thirds of these can be seen in City churches, four are in livery halls, while the remainder are either in storage in churches or in museums . Two can be seen in All Hallows Twickenham, a Wren church rebuilt in the suburbs in 1939. All the sword rests, with the exception of that in St Michael Cornhill, are surmounted by a royal crown and almost all have the City’s coat of arms prominently displayed. Many also show the royal arms, the coat of arms of at least one Lord Mayor and, in a number of cases, the arms of the livery company of which dthe Lor Mayor was a member.
