The Watermeadows was, until recently part of the Easton Neston estate and closed to the public. The Site was purchased in 2009 by South Northamptonshire Counciland was intended to • To ensure effective financial and resource management to realise the overall objectives and action provide the growing population of Towcester with a much-needed community green space, and improve plan for the Watermeadows. the Site’s potential rich ecology. This document has been created to drive and coordinate the management of the Watermeadows over the next fifteen years. An annual action plan has been developed to help steer and guide the management of the park. The plan will be reviewed each year with fundamental review taking place in 2021-22. The Watermeadows is significant and important for a number of reasons: • Ecology - The Site has a rich biodiversity, providing an important grassland and wetland habitat which forms part of wider wildlife corridors; • Health and wellbeing – The Watermeadows is Towcester’s largest public open space, and has the potential to provide the growing community with opportunities for recreation, exercise and wildlife watching; • Economic – The Watermeadows forms part of the major Moat Lane Regeneration Project, seeking to revive and connect the town centre with the Mill Stream; and • Heritage and Culture – The Site forms part of the Grade II* Registered Park and Garden of Easton Neston, the design of which was influenced by Christopher Wren and implemented by Nicholas Hawksmoor. Iron Age remains have also been found on site, and the Watermeadows sits adjacent to the Scheduled Ancient Monument of the Bury Mount and the Grade II listed Towcester Mill. The Landscape Management Plan is based on consultation with key stakeholder groups. The shared vision for Watermeadows is: A valued community green space and wildlife habitat which celebrates the rich heritage and ecology of the Watermeadows; and provides the community of Towcester with opportunities for informal recreation and education. Primary aims of the Landscape Management Plan include: • To provide a safe, accessible and welcoming space for all members of the community; • To ensure that the Watermeadows is maintained to high quality and sustainability standards; • To ensure that the special historical interest and character of the landscape is protected, conserved and enhanced; • To facilitate and enable opportunities for community involvement and healthy living through the provision of high quality facilities, events and activities; Executive summary | 5 1.0 Introduction, context and background 1.1 Statement of Significance A Landscape Management Plan is required to ensure that the Site’s significant ecological, landscape, environmental, social, wellbeing and cultural benefits are protected and enhanced over the coming years. The Site has a rich biodiversity, providing an important floodplain which forms part of wider wildlife corridors. The Watermeadows abuts Towcester town centre and the Towcester Southern Urban Extension project, and is part of the major Moat Lane Regeneration Project. The Site is the largest nearby public open space for residents who are able to use it for recreation, exercise and wildlife watching. The Site is also of great heritage value, as it forms part of the Grade II* Registered Park and Garden of Easton Neston, influenced and designed by Christopher Wren and Nicholas Hawksmoor. It also sits adjacent to the Scheduled Ancient Monument of the Bury Mount and the Grade II listed Towcester Mill, and has an Iron Age ritual burial site in its grounds. 1.2 Background to Plan South Northamptonshire Council (SNC) purchased the Watermeadows (the Site) in 2009 as a public green space and to encourage biodiversity. A Landscape Management Plan was previously created in 2011 to set out the management priorities and actions for the Site for the next five years. This initial plan drew to a close in 2016, and SNC agreed that a new plan was needed to review the past five years’ progress, and needed to guide the future management, maintenance and development of the Site over the next fifteen years. 1.3 Format of Plan The format, style and narrative of this Landscape Management Plan (the Plan) has been developed to reflect the requirements of SNC, local stakeholders and the wider community. It draws on the guidance from the following best practice: • Cabe Space (2004), A Guide To Producing Park and Green Space Management Plans; • Heritage Lottery Fund (2012), Management and Maintenance Plan Guidance; • Keep Britain Tidy (2017), Raising the Standard: The Green Flag Award Guidance Manual; • English Heritage (2014), Conserving Historic Water Meadows; and • English Heritage (2007), The Management and Maintenance of Historic Parks, Gardens and Landscape. Introduction | 6 1.4 Purpose of Plan 1.6 Stakeholder Involvement and Target Audiences This Plan is an overarching document which encompasses a range of policies, strategies and consultation The development of the Watermeadows Landscape Management Plan has been created with the support to formulate a long term plan for the future management of the Site. The Plan focuses not just on the of a number of stakeholder groups, including SNC, Towcester Town Council, Moulton College, Towcester landscape but also considers the balance between heritage, visitors, ecology and the overall function of Wildlife Group, Environment Agency, Historic England, and Towcester Women’s Institute

  • Wren and the English Baroque
    What is English Baroque? • An architectural style promoted by Christopher Wren (1632-1723) that developed between the Great Fire (1666) and the Treaty of Utrecht (1713). It is associated with the new freedom of the Restoration following the Cromwell’s puritan restrictions and the Great Fire of London provided a blank canvas for architects. In France the repeal of the Edict of Nantes in 1685 revived religious conflict and caused many French Huguenot craftsmen to move to England. • In total Wren built 52 churches in London of which his most famous is St Paul’s Cathedral (1675-1711). Wren met Gian Lorenzo Bernini (1598-1680) in Paris in August 1665 and Wren’s later designs tempered the exuberant articulation of Bernini’s and Francesco Borromini’s (1599-1667) architecture in Italy with the sober, strict classical architecture of Inigo Jones. • The first truly Baroque English country house was Chatsworth, started in 1687 and designed by William Talman. • The culmination of English Baroque came with Sir John Vanbrugh (1664-1726) and Nicholas Hawksmoor (1661-1736), Castle Howard (1699, flamboyant assemble of restless masses), Blenheim Palace (1705, vast belvederes of massed stone with curious finials), and Appuldurcombe House, Isle of Wight (now in ruins). Vanburgh’s final work was Seaton Delaval Hall (1718, unique in its structural audacity). Vanburgh was a Restoration playwright and the English Baroque is a theatrical creation. In the early 18th century the English Baroque went out of fashion. It was associated with Toryism, the Continent and Popery by the dominant Protestant Whig aristocracy. The Whig Thomas Watson-Wentworth, 1st Marquess of Rockingham, built a Baroque house in the 1720s but criticism resulted in the huge new Palladian building, Wentworth Woodhouse, we see today.
