    HERTFORDSHIRE GARDENS TRUST SPRING NEWSLETTER 2016 THE ‘CAPABILITY’ BROWN FESTIVAL EDITION 1 From the Chairman: CB300 is finally here. This special newsletter represents the spread and depth of erudition that we are lucky to have amongst our members and it is a captivating picture of Hertfordshire’s landscapes. Once we have read about them the special HGT CB300 committee have mapped out some wonderful walks which allow us to experience these landscapes first hand. Then a series of enticing events throughout the year let us explore key places in more depth. I know you will all find something to enjoy and I want to congratulate those who have contributed and worked so hard to put this together. It is a collaboration of so many, including those who have read pages of type, trudged the footpaths on cold wet days, spent hours bent over maps and books, and owners who have generously let us research and explore. They have shown us all it is an anniversary really worth celebrating. Thank you so much.

  • Spring Newsletter 2017 and Annual Report
    HERTFORDSHIRE GARDENS TRUST SPRING NEWSLETTER 2017 AND ANNUAL REPORT From the President: This is a big year for the Hertfordshire Gardens Trust on many fronts. No sooner have we finished celebrating Capability Brown than we launch straight into learning about Repton! There is a particularly interesting programme of visits and debates, not least a day at Hatfield discussing conservation with regard to housing projects. There is a visit to Panshanger to view the landscape which has been under such threat recently. One of the most exciting restoration developments in Hertfordshire is that at the Jellicoe Gardens in Hemel Hempstead and a visit has been arranged there. These three are just some of the outings which the HGT so ably organises. The July AGM will mark a momentous moment for us all as we say goodbye to one Chairman and welcome to the next. If anyone would enjoy putting something back into the Trust, whatever your expertise, please do contact our current chairman as she is looking for new members of the executive committee. As you can see there is much activity in the HGT which continues to be a lively and constructive organisation. 2 Chairman’s Report—Bella Stuart-Smith The combination of CB300 and the 25th Anniversary year of HGT was the perfect vehicle to look back and remind us what had been achieved over time and to see how members with all their varied interests have driven this forward. The Reports in this newsletter give us a picture of what has been achieved in a year, and that too is exciting together with the events we have planned.

  • 8 Digswell House AL8 7NX Seller Insight
    8 Digswell House AL8 7NX Seller Insight As designers seeking to move out of London, as soon as we walked in and saw the lounge at 8 Digswell House, we could see huge potential,” say the current owners of this stunningly presented period property. “With its 14ft high ceilings, the lounge alone could have accommodated our London house!” A Grade II Listed mansion built by Samuel Wyatt for the honourable Edward Spencer Cowper in around 1805, Digswell House was converted into several private homes in the mid 1980s. The current owners have since done much to modernise Number 8, which occupies a substantial part of the original house. “We are business people and designers,” they say, “we purchased this house as a showroom and a place to retreat from our busy lives in the City. A place to entertain family and friends. It is now a stylish home which takes advantage of the many period features whilst giving an atmosphere of easy contemporary living. The original grand staircase is a particular stunning feature, sweeping up to the first floor and providing a dramatic statement. “ “The luxurious interior living space opens out onto the private terrace,” the owners continue, “with fantastic views of the south facing communal gardens. The grounds of Digswell House stretch over 4 acres and are beautifully maintained by gardeners, with various places to sit for picnics or barbecues. The gardens are very enclosed, with a wall of mature trees providing shelter and seclusion. The grounds are also home to a family of Muntjac deer and lively foxes that keep their distance at all times.” On the perimeter of Welwyn Garden City, the location of the property offers the best of both worlds, surrounded by countryside yet enjoying easy access to London Kings Cross from Welwyn North station in between 17-33 minutes.

  • Newsletter July 2010
    WELWYN GARDEN CITY SOCIETY Newsletter July 2010 www.wgcsoc.org.uk Dear Member Members will see below the results from the general meeting we called in late April in reply to the slow response that we have had from Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council (WHBC) to many matters we have placed before them and, in particular, the Estate Management Scheme. As yet, we have not received a formal response. Our view is that this is going to be a long campaign with the added excuse of lack of funds arising from budget cuts. On a better note, we have participated in the first meeting of the Public Realm part of the Town Centre Partnership. More details of this are set out below. Finally, this newsletter includes a reminder to those whose subscriptions are overdue. Please note that there has been no increase in the subscription fee for the year from 1 April 2010. Parkway Report on the meeting of members held at Campus West on 26 April last ۩ Estate Management Scheme (EMS) The progress that had been made since the EMS had been first considered for review in November 2006 was outlined. The fundamental proposition that had been formulated – namely, that proper enforcement would 2 be considered for cases that had clearly broken EMS rules – was that adequate funds would be set aside to ensure that the scheme was both enforced and properly publicised. That had been put to a public consultation in June/July 2008 and Society members had responded very well to the Society’s suggestions that they express their views forcibly to the Council.

  • For God, King and Country
    ‘In twenty years from now, the new generation will, to a great extent, have forgotten this war – the bloodiest since Creation’, said Rev WG Pope, preaching in the City Tabernacle on 23 February 1919. Looking back over almost a hundred years since that statement, another world war in 1939–45 was to eclipse all wars in human history for the record of the greatest loss of life, but we have not forgotten those who served their God, King and Country. The aim of this book is to put flesh and bones on those whose names are recorded on the City Tabernacle WWI Honour Roll so that their life stories live on in our memories. Lest we forget.

Digswell House, Welwyn Garden City was leased from the Commission for the New Towns and adapted into studios for artists (fellows) and their families to live and work. As an educational charity one of the Trust's main aims is to contribute directly to artistic creativity by providing facilities at the lowest possible cost to artists and craftsmen at a formative stage in their careers. The fellows are chosen for their ability by a panel of distinguished experts and are supported by the Trust in their applications for grants and other sources of funding. The Gordon Maynard Gallery, 22 Parkway, Welwyn Garden City was opened by the Trust in November 1964 (now closed) to exhibit fellows' work and bring their activities to the centre of the Garden City community. The Trust no longer occupies Digswell House but has premises at the Attimore Barn, Ridgway, Welwyn Garden City and Fairlands Valley Farm, Stevenage where studios are provided for craftsmen to work.
