The 2009 Journal contains:
The Wilderness at Blickling Hall
Andrew Eburne explains the evolution of this major garden feature at Blickling Hall, which has developed in three distinct phases. With extensive restoration of the area planned, the importance of its historical relevance is brought into sharper focus.
Carrow Abbey
Amid the vicissitudes of 20th century intrusions -factory and office buildings, roads and a conference centre, remarkably the gardens of Carrow Abbey and Carrow House still remain. Once the home of the Colman family, Graham Innes traces the complex path round this hidden landscape.
Prideaux's Norfolk Sketches
Made in the first quarter of the 18th century, the garden sketches of Edmund Prideaux are an invaluable visual source of the state of garden making before the landscape revolution. Tom Williamson interprets some of the Norfolk examples.
