  • Bentley Priory Nature Trail
    Bentley Priory Nature Trail Text version, describing the trail starting from the Old Lodge Way entrance. Bentley Priory is one of the best known open spaces in Harrow. Originally one space comprising the house and grounds of Bentley Priory, a stately mansion built in 1775 with the distinguished and unorthodox Sir John Soane as architect, the two were separated when the house was occupied by the RAF and used as an operation centre during the Battle of Britain in the Second World War. Bentley Priory house now hosts a museum describing this role. Geology The 66 hectares of the reserve slope southwards from the edge of the Stanmore Hill ridge in the north. The lower part is London clay but as one climbs north the clay is overlayed by the pebbly Claygate beds with a cap of quaternary gravels on the ridge, creating an acid soil. When water trickling down through the gravel reaches the clay a number of springs emerge and form streams. Maintenance The Park is managed by voluntary wardens who work to record species and enhance the site’s biodiversity. Larger scale work, such as mechanical cutting of the open areas to prevent scrub growth, is performed by contractors. Dogs Bentley Priory is a nature reserve and the wildlife has priority. Spring Meadow is the most important bird nesting site and all dogs should be on leash here during the months of April, May and June. Signs on the entrance gates will alert dog walkers to this rule. Well trained dogs can be allowed to run free on the rest of the reserve and on Spring Meadow July – March.

  • Plimpton Collection of Dramas 1675-1920 (Bulk 1850-1900)
    AMHERST COLLEGE ARCHIVES AND SPECIAL COLLECTIONS Plimpton Collection of Dramas 1675-1920 (bulk 1850-1900) Summary: A collection of 1429 plays, largely from nineteenth century American and Brisish popular theater. Quantity: 14 linear feet Listed by: Neha Wadia, AC 2013, Student Assistant Note: These plays are cataloged in the Amherst College online catalog. To find the complete listing in the catalog, do a basic keyword search for “Plimpton collection of dramas”. Individual plays can be searched by title and author. The call number for the collection is PN6111.P5 © 2013 Amherst College Archives and Special Collections Page 1 Plimpton Collection of Dramas INTRODUCTION THE PLIMPTON COLLECTION OF PLAYS by Curtis Canfield Originally published in the Amherst Graduates’ Quarterly, May 1932 Mr. George A. Plimpton, ’76, recently presented to the college a large collection of material relating to the English and American theatre of the nineteenth century. More than 1200 plays are represented in the collection in addition to numerous playbills, programs, libretti, histories, and after-pieces, as well as an autographed photograph of Edwin Booth as Richelieu. The collection seems to have been a part of the extensive theatrical library of Mr. Edward Boltwood of Pittsfield, whose father was born in Amherst in 1839 and moved to Pittsfield in 1870. Mr. Boltwood, although an active member of the Berkshire bar, made the theatre his avocation and found time to write a number of small pieces for the stage, one of which is included in the present collection. He was also instrumental in establishing the William Parke Stock Company in Pittsfield, and continued his connection with this company by writing reviews of its plays.
