    Understanding Historic Parks and Gardens in Buckinghamshire The Buckinghamshire Gardens Trust Research & Recording Project NEWLANDS TREE CATHEDRAL, MILTON KEYNES November 2018 The Stanley Smith (UK) Horticultural Trust Bucks Gardens Trust Bucks Gardens Trust, Site Dossier: Newlands Tree Cathedral, Milton Keynes, MKC November 2018 HISTORIC SITE BOUNDARY 2 Bucks Gardens Trust, Site Dossier: Newlands Tree Cathedral, Milton Keynes, MKC November 2018 3 INTRODUCTION Background to the Project This site dossier has been prepared as part of The Buckinghamshire Gardens Trust (BGT) Research and Recording Project, begun in 2014. This site is one of several hundred designed landscapes county‐wide identified by Bucks County Council (BCC) in 1998 (including Milton Keynes District) as potentially retaining evidence of historic interest, as part of the Historic Parks and Gardens Register Review project carried out for English Heritage (now Historic England) (BCC Report No. 508). The list is not definitive and further parks and gardens may be identified as research continues or further information comes to light. Content BGT has taken the Register Review list as a sound basis from which to select sites for appraisal as part of its Research and Recording Project for designed landscapes in the historic county of Bucks (pre‐1974 boundaries). For each site a dossier is prepared by volunteers trained on behalf of BGT by experts in appraising designed landscapes who have worked extensively for English Heritage/Historic England on its Register Upgrade Project. Each dossier includes the following for the site: A site boundary mapped on the current Ordnance Survey to indicate the extent of the main part of the surviving designed landscape, also a current aerial photograph.

Information included comes from secondary sources and compila- tions, which are cited.

  • Introductions to Heritage Assets: War Memorial Parks and Gardens
    War Memorial Parks and Gardens Introductions to Heritage Assets Summary Historic England’s Introductions to Heritage Assets (IHAs) are accessible, authoritative, illustrated summaries of what we know about specific types of archaeological site, building, landscape or marine asset. Typically they deal with subjects which lack such a summary. This can either be where the literature is dauntingly voluminous, or alternatively where little has been written. Most often it is the latter, and many IHAs bring understanding of site or building types which are neglected or little understood. Many of these are what might be thought of as ‘new heritage’, that is they date from after the Second World War. This short guide provides an introduction to the memorial parks and gardens built as war memorials, principally after the First World War. This guidance note has been written by David Lambert, The Parks Agency, and edited by Paul Stamper. It is one is of several guidance documents that can be accessed HistoricEngland.org.uk/listing/selection-criteria/listing-selection/ihas-buildings/ First published by English Heritage June 2014.

  • Tree Watch Tree Watch
    Wokingham District Veteran Tree Association Tree Watch Issue 111111 November 2011 On 1st November 2011 we had 5288 trees in our database and 5413 photographs Welcome to the November issue of Tree Watch. Once again the autumn colours are fantastic and remind us just how wonderful trees are! WDVTA continues to go from strength to strength. In the August issue I told you about our 5000 th tree. I hope you all saw the piece about it in the Wokingham Times. If you missed it – follow the link on the home page of our website. The photo here shows Barbara and Ray being photographed in front of the oak for the Wokingham Times article. We haven’t rested on our laurels either, recording has continued and as you can see we’ve added another 288 trees to our database. The big news this time is the launch of our tree warden group and an exciting project to mark the Diamond Jubilee next year. Stephen Loyd will be telling us all about this new project at the Tree Warden launch on Tuesday 29 th November. John Stokes from the Tree Council will be there to give more details about the project and tell us about the Tree Warden scheme in general. This is an important extension of our activities and hopefully will appeal to members who don’t particularly want to go out and measure trees. Do come along and discover what we are planning and see whether you’d like to be involved. The next issue of Tree Watch will be February 2012 and the copy deadline is 31st January.

  • Tree Watch Tree Watch
    Wokingham District Veteran Tree Association Tree Watch Issue 20 February 2012012014201 444 On 14 th January we had 6909 trees in our database and 8378 photographs Welcome to the twentieth issue of Tree Watch. It doesn’t seem that long ago that I produced the first issue, but that was in May 2009! Since then we’ve added 4,538 trees and 6,569 photos to our database, and records are still coming in. When we started recording veteran and significant trees in the Borough, nobody expected we’d get so many. Now in addition to our veteran tree database, we are nominating heritage trees and recording commemorative and memorial trees as well (see page 4). In the last issue (November) it was Storm Jude. Now of course we’ve had floods and high winds. I don’t know yet whether we’ve lost any of the trees on our database and if you know of any victims, please let me know (email address below). The photos on this page were taken in late January in Swallowfield Park. Our next event is our AGM – do put the date in your diaries – Wednesday 2nd April 19:30 in the Emmbrook Room at Dinton Pastures. I hope to see many of you there. The next issue of Tree Watch will be May 2014 and the copy deadline is 30th April.

  • Bedfordshire Walking Festival
    OPEN DAILY APRIL TO AUGUST 2019 Welcome... to the 10th Annual Bedfordshire Walking Festival Few would have thought the Bedfordshire walking festival would still be taking place ten years on and in a county most people seem to ignore. True it may not be the Cotswolds nor the South Downs but Bedfordshire is a compact county with three distinctive types of walking. The Chalk Hills in the south, the picturesque, wooded undulating area in the middle referred to as the Greensand Country, and a mixture of woodland and the open space in the undulating "Wolds" of the north. Located in England's driest region, this attractive county is a great place to explore on foot and so easy to get to by road, rail, air and water as many have already found. Combine with a great range of walks. led by knowledgeable and friendly leaders, and it becomes easy to see how the festival has grown and grown. To mark the 10th anniversary, and in addition to walks across the county, we have set up Hub's at Woburn, Bedford's Priory Park and Ampthill Park on three of the nine days from where walks will start and from where walking relative information can be obtained. Enjoy a stroll through history at Woburn Abbey The walks and events in the programme are colour coded enabling you to easily select the type of walks • which appeal and the centre page map will enable you to find their location. Explore the award-winning, historic gardens Most of the walks and events are free and do not require a booking however some need to be booked • because there is either a restriction on numbers or because transport has to be organised.
