  • Country Iioijs1 of Greater Mancheste
    COUNTRY IIOIJS1 OF GREATER MANCHESTE * P .•» I COUNTRY HOUSES OF GREATER MANCHESTER EDITORS :J.S.F. WALKER & A.S.TINDALL (;itiL\n<it MANCHESTER ARCHAEOLOGICAL UNIT 1985 osi CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT The country house is part of the diverse and rich heritage of Greater Manchester. This volume follows the development of the country house from the Middle Ages to the present day, using a combination of .archaeological excavation, documentary research and survey to present a coherent study of a building type which reflects the social and economic development of the community in a singularly direct way. By their survival they .demonstrate the entrepreneurial skills of the owner and the abilities of those artisans who built and maintained them. The form and function of the country house change over the centuries, and the fabric of individual buildings mirrors these changes and encapsulates much of the history of the time. Many of our country houses are in good hands, well maintained and with a secure future. Many others described in this volume are already lost, and even the land upon which they stood has been so disturbed as to allow no further site investigation. Their loss, in many cases, was inevitable but I hope that this publication will create an awareness that others, too valuable to be allowed to disappear, are at risk. The protection and refurbishment of old buildings is costly, but I am confident that present conservation policies, allied with improving public and private attitudes towards preservation, have created a strong body of opinion in favour of the constructive re-use of the best of those which survive.

Soon after acquiring Hill Top Farm, Potter became keenly interested in the breeding and raising of Herdwick sheep , the indigenous fell sheep. In she bought a large sheep farm in the Troutbeck Valley called Troutbeck Park Farm , formerly a deer park, restoring its land with thousands of Herdwick sheep. This established her as one of the major Herdwick sheep farmers in the county. She was admired by her shepherds and farm managers for her willingness to experiment with the latest biological remedies for the common diseases of sheep, and for her employment of the best shepherds, sheep breeders, and farm managers. By the late s, Potter and her Hill Top farm manager Tom Storey had made a name for their prize-winning Herdwick flock, which took many prizes at the local agricultural shows, where Potter was often asked to serve as a judge. In she became President-elect of the Herdwick Sheepbreeders' Association, the first time a woman had been elected but died before taking office. Potter had been a disciple of the land conservation and preservation ideals of her long-time friend and mentor, Canon Hardwicke Rawnsley , the first secretary and founding member of the National Trust for Places of Historic Interest or Natural Beauty.

The two-day itinerary has been carefully designed to ensure you have the chance to unwind at the same time as taking in famous sights not to be missed around Manchester and its closest National Park, the Peak District. Day 1: Greater Manchester Highlights Meeting Point: St Peters Square tram stop 9.15am Our local adventure begins with a behind the scenes stadium tour at Old Trafford, Theatre of Dreams, home of Manchester United, the most successful and richest football club in the world. Just a few tram stops away, we visit the town of Sale, a popular and thriving suburb recently voted as the 4th best place to live in the United Kingdom. After lunching at traditional canal side pub, we explore two of Greater Manchester’s most loved green flag parks, where you will have the chance to try your hand at Crown Green Bowling, a popular and relaxing British sport. Volunteers will take you on a short tour of Walkden Gardens, a hidden greenspace gem in the heart of Sale, before we board a private barge to journey south towards the Cheshire countryside. Whilst cruising along Britain's’ oldest canal, you will enjoy a traditional English Afternoon Tea, kindly hosted by the Mayor of Trafford. The barge stops just outside Dunham Massey, the National Trust’s most popular attraction in the UK.
