Notecards and Postcards‘I can’t find your notecards’ said one of our members after searching our art exhibition. We thought the Orangery was full of notecards but enquiry revealed that our member meant the not-very-wintery view of ‘Holland House through the Trees’ which we had used in two sizes as a Christmas card. So we ordered some especially for her in the smaller size (4.75” x 6.75”) without a greeting, and while we were at it got some extra, thinking others might like them too. So you can order them or packs of 5 black/white postcards of the north face of Holland House as it was in the nineteenth century. These are also being sold by our good friends in the Park Office. Do look into the Park Office to see them all and any other cards we may be offering.Prices vary. Order online here.[Summer 2019]

The Pleasure Grounds of Holland House
This book uses the surviving evidence to create impressions of the gardens as they would have been seen and experienced in each of the four centuries of their existence. It will add a new dimension for those who visit and enjoy Holland Park today; there are still places to stand and imagine how the pleasure gardens of Holland House once looked. Sally Miller studied for an MA in garden history from Birkbeck College in her retirement and is now a professional garden historian researching, writing and lecturing on garden and landscape history. She contributes both to the work of the Hampshire Gardens Trust and the London Parks and Gardens Trust. She has previously published The History of Bishops Park and articles in Garden History and the London Gardener.

The Families of Holland House
For over 300 years successive owners of Holland House in Kensington were at the heart of political, social and literary life in London until the house was bombed during the Second World War. The Cope and Rich families (the Earls of Holland and Warwick) were the owners from 1604 to 1721, and the Fox and Fox-Strangway families (Barons Holland and the Earls of Ilchester) from 1726 to 1951.
