The following Bibliography is a first attempt to do just that, and provides a starting point for those who want to learn more about the properties and collections in the National Trust’s care. Inevitably this list will have gaps in it. Do please let us know of additional material that you feel might be included, or where you have spotted errors in the existing entries. All feedback to [email protected] would be very welcome. Please note the Bibliography does not include minor references within large reference works, such as the Encyclopaedia Britannica, or to guidebooks published by the National Trust. How to use The Bibliography is arranged by property, and then alphabetically by author. For ease of use, clicking on a hyperlink will take you from a property name listed on the Contents Page to the page for that property. ‘Return to Contents’ hyperlinks will take you back to the contents page. To search by particular terms, such as author or a theme, please make use of the ‘Find’ function, in the ‘Edit’ menu (or use the keyboard shortcut ‘[Ctrl] + [F]’).

  • Threats to Historic Parks and Gardens
    Threats to Historic Parks and Gardens A training presentation from the Gardens Trust. This presentation will show a broad variety of threats that these precious landscapes are facing 1 This is the frontispiece of the New Arcadian Broadsheet - NAB 67 (2010), by David Lambert, Patrick Eyres and Chris Broughton (drawing). This image reminds us that the landscapes and houses we cherish are under pressure from development, be it roads and traffic as here, demolition (fortunately pretty rare), neglect (very common), lack of money leading to vistas and landscapes becoming overgrown and partially lost (probably most common of all), vandalism (most prevalent in public parks), change of use - especially common for large houses converted to hotels with extra parking and new spa buildings/additional bedroom accommodation etc required within the designed landscapes, or even misguided interventions. 2 ‘It matters not who owns this house or that field, the landscape is ours, it is free to all who care to linger and look at its beauty.’ Historic parks and gardens are part of our national landscape. As William Morris said of the Cotswolds: ‘It matters not who owns this house or that field, the landscape is ours, it is free to all who care to linger and look at its beauty.’ Here, fortunately, Stourhead belongs to the NT so this landscape belongs to the nation for all to enjoy. That is sadly not the case everywhere and many historic landscapes are very vulnerable. We’ll now run through some real examples of fairly common threats to historic designed landscapes which the GT’s Conservation Team has come across in its work.
