The National Trust: The Next Hundred Years

This is a collection of essays in celebration of the Trust's centenary. The wide range of subjects embraced by the Trust (conservation, preservation, education, access for leisure, archaeology, natural history, landscape, the coast and countryside) are all reflected here. The work of the Trust in the past is considered and there is also an examination of the issues and challenges facing the Trust in the future.

The 18th century brought great change to Britain and the growth of trade and empire had an enormous impact on the country. This is a study of those changes using information gathered from the archives of properties now cared for by the National Trust. These archives show how the people, houses and estates were affected and children will learn about the changes in lifestyle and culture, the difference between town and country life, and see how education, industry and politics changed and developed.

Uppark was a beautiful late 17th century house containing works of art collected on the Grand Tour. Its splendour was destroyed in August 1989 when the house caught fire and within hours was reduced to a gutted ruin. The National Trust faced the decision of what to do with the house and its contents, a high proportion of which had been rescued while the fire was fought. After great debate the house was saved and its contents repaired in an unprecedented five year programme of restoration. This book rells the story of the decision to restore the property and of the craftsmen and women brought together to return the house to its former splendour.

A constant challenge for the gardeners of the National Trust is to provide a continuing display of color throughout the visiting season. Climbing plants are their invaluable secret asset. At Barrington Court in Somerset, the early-blossoming espaliered fruit trees in the Kitchen Garden are supplemented by sweet peas trained up wigwam frames, and at Nymans in Sussex, an explosion of summer roses follows hard on the heels of spring displays. But how do they keep these gregarious plants under control? Drawing on interviews with ten of the National Trust's head gardeners, horticulturist Sue Spielberg offers an excellent practical guide. Climbers and Wall Plants abounds with advice from the professionals, including tips on pruning, training climbers to create fragrant pathways, and discovering combinations of plants that will keep a garden in flower.
