The 2008 Journal contains:

My Lord's Garden

The garden of a duke, romantically approached from the river and designed by a renowned 17th century antiquary, diarist and gardener, ‘My Lord’s Garden’ remained a delightful public open space in Norwich until overwhelmed by industrial development in the 19th century. Gillian Darley traces its origins and reveals the surprising source of its design.

The making of a Gentleman's Pleasure Ground

Hassell Smith examines the evidence of the early development of the gardens at Raynham Hall. Between 1618-1637, Sir Roger Townshend, not only concerned himself with building a new hall but carried out extensive enhancements to the grounds. Old Tudor gardens existed but Sir Roger had in mind far more elaborate and up to date developments.

The Eastern Arboretum

‘The Eastern Arboretum refers not to the vegetable wonders of the Oriental part of our globe, but to a district of our own peaceful and happy England.’  That district was Norfolk, and the reference occurs in a little known book written by James Grigor, published in 1841. But what was his book, what was its scope and intention? Who was Grigor? Scilla Latham goes in search of the answers.

Norfolk Gardens in Art

Depictions of gardens have long been an invaluable source of information to garden historians. Some of them transcend the mere sketch and record to be accepted as Art. Roger Last looks at the varying degree of artistic endeavour applied to the gardens of Norfolk over the past three hundred years.
