Really enjoyable visit to Hutton-in-the-Forest, home to the Fletcher-Vane family since 1605. In 1964 William Vane was ennobled as Lord Inglewood. His son, the present Lord Inglewood, lives at Hutton with his family. Lovely gardens and great cake! Historic Houses

The imposing wisteria is starting to bloom around the Gardens. They only flower for a few weeks so make sure you pop in and catch them over the next month. We may get lucky and have a smaller flush in the summer.

Thoughts from Historic Houses' Sarah Roller on why "Imposing planning fees on listed buildings would be a huge mistake" - and a call for use of the listed building consent order mechanism for certain routine, reversible changes. thetimes.com/article/f8f2d7…

A landmark report on #heritage was published #OTD 75 years ago - 23 June 1950. Sir Ernest Gowers investigated how significant houses should be protected for future generations. 75 years on, his (plain) words still ring true. Read more about it here: historichouses.org/unfinished-bus…
