Town Gardens Survey
Anthea Taigel (Landscape History Research), then the gardens inspector for English Heritage for the Eastern region, researched and wrote the reports which were published by the Trust between 1997-99. Twenty one reports were produced covering the towns of Attleborough, Aylsham, Cromer, Diss, Downham Market, East Dereham, Fakenham, Great Yarmouth, Hingham, Holt, Kings Lynn, North Walsham, Norwich, New Hunstanton, Old Hunstanton, Sheringham, Swaffham, Thetford, Watton and Wymondham, plus an additional report on Wymondham Cemetery.
The surveys include a general history and introduction for each town. The number of sites included varies according to the size and importance of the location. Norwich has thirteen sites considered in detail, and a further fifty-three in brief, whereas Holt has three detailed sites and sixteen in outline. The Reports include Ordnance Survey maps, clearly indicating the locations and extent of the gardens, but are not illustrated. The exception being the report on Wymondham Cemetery which has eight colour pictures and a detailed tree survey.
