(This exhibition will not travel. Loans from houses open to view are expected to remain in place until the late summer of 1985 and to be returned before many of the houses open for their visitors in the spring of 1986.) Credits; This exhibition is made possible by a generous grant from the Ford Motor Company. The exhibition was organized by the National Gallery of Art, Washington, in collaboration v\n.th the British Council and is supported by indemnities from Her Majesty's Treasury and the U.S. Federal Council on the Arts and Humanities. Further British assistance was supplied by the National Trust and the Historic Houses Association. History of the exhibition; The suggestion that the National Gallery of Art consider holding a major exhibition devoted to British art was made by the British Council in 1979. J. Carter Brown, Director of the National Gallery, responded with the idea of an exhibition on the British Country House as a "vessel of civilization," bringing together works of art illustrating the extraordinary achievement of collecting and patronage throughout Britain over the past five hundred years. As this concept carried with it the additional, contemporary advantage of stimulating greater interest in and support of those houses open to public viewing, it was enthusiastically endorsed by the late Lord Howard of Henderskelfe, then-Chairman of the Historic Houses Association, Julian Andrews, Director of the Fine Arts Department of the British Council, and Lord Gibson, Chairman of the National Trust.

  • History of Hagley
    History of Hagley It is a common assumption amongst those who know Hagley only in its commuter-dormitory guise that it has no history; yet at Wychbury, within the parish boundary, are the massive earth works of an Iron Age Hill Fort, one of the foremost ancient field monuments in Worcestershire. Upon such eminences, with their commanding views of the surrounding countryside, defensive settlements first began. From the summit of Wychbury the strongholds of Malvern, Woodbury and Dudley are clearly visible. In Domesday Book, Hagley (Hageleia) is listed under the lands of William Fitz Ansculf, Lord of Dudley Castle. Members of the Paganel family, also Lords of Dudley Castle, succeeded him and they were followed by the Someries. The tenants at Hagley became known as de Hageleia, later de Haggelege or de Haggelye. The name Hagley would seem to mean (according to Eilert Ekwall) a wood where haws are found; or perhaps, taking account of the second syllable, an open space or glade in such a wood. The Lyttelton family came to Hagley in 1562. They also owned the manor of Frankley, but after the destruction of their manor house by Prince Rupert in 1645, Hagley became their principal seat. Their name derived from the parish of Littleton near Evesham and their records go back to the reign of Henry III. To George, the first Baron Lyttelton, we owe the landscaping of the Park in the eighteenth century style, with its classical buildings and mock “ruined” medieval castle and the building of Hagley Hall (1754-60). Hagley became famous and was much visited by the most distinguished men and women of the age.
