Pre-Existing Trees and Woods in Country-House Parks

Abstract The successive types of parks – deer-farms, hunting parks, ornamental 'landscape' parks, municipal parks – were each of them formed out of a previous landscape, which might have been an earlier park or might have been ordinary countryside. One of the chief values of parks, especially in England, is that they removed samples of countryside from the normal pressures of agriculture, and preserved much of the trees, vegetation, and antiquities of the previous landscape. This article deals with two different components of the relict landscapes which parks preserved: trees and woodland. It discusses how each of these was incorporated into parks, what new functions, values, and meanings they acquired, and what happened to them.
