College Lake stars on TV
College Lake
Nature Reserve
north of Tring
had a starring role in
a recent edition of the
BBC’s Countryfile.
Presenter John
Craven met teenage
conservation
volunteers at the site
who told him about
their work and why they love doing it.
Among those featured was 17-year-old Dylan,
who goes to College Lake every Sunday to
help the Berks, Bucks and Oxon Wildlife Trust
(BBOWT), which runs the reserve, with a host of
jobs including refilling bird feeders.
Mr Craven also met with 16- and 17-year-old
members of the Chiltern Rangers New Shoots
project, which helps young people to get
involved with conservation and environmental
volunteering.
The entire programme was presented from
the site, and John Craven also told some of the
extraordinary story of how it was transformed
over the past 30 years from a chalk quarry into
a 67-hectare nature reserve and Site of Special
Scientific Interest (SSSI) supporting more than
1,000 species.
Today, BBOWT manages the site for wildlife
and people, and also runs a visitor centre, café
and shop, hosts school parties, seasonal guided
walks and family fun days.

Repair café springs into action
Tring in Transition has opened its monthly
Repair Café held at High Street Baptist
Church Hall, Tring.
Repair cafés are community events that match
people who own broken or faulty household
items, with skilled volunteers who like fixing
things, saving items from landfill, and saving
raw materials, energy and CO2 emissions.
The Repair Café volunteers can mend broken
toys, clothes, furniture, electrical appliances,
bikes, tech and garden tools.
Pop in to see if they can help. You can have a
cup of tea or coffee while you wait or watch the
repairers in action.
School occupies new building
After years of planning and building, the
students and staff of Tring School are
finally in the new building!
The three-storey building takes some getting
used to and navigation and memory skills are
definitely required. All routes eventually lead back
to the dining hall, which is a bright and airy atrium
that can seat 340 students for lunch or an assembly.
Other highlights include state-of-the-art
science labs, fantastic design and technology
rooms (on top of which are kiln and dark rooms),
a well-stocked Learning Resource Centre and
on the third floor the Sixth Form Centre, with
fabulous double-aspect views of the Chilterns.
The school also invested heavily in a bespoke
space for student support, which includes areas
for the Heads of Houses, counselling services,
emotional support and careers advice.
Other stand-out features include the doubleheight
activity studio (half-sprung wooden
floor, mirrored wall with ballet barres, sound

and visual system) and a sports hall (grey
‘pulastic’ flooring with multiple sports markings,
high-spec cricket nets and mats, electronic
scoreboard, socket/post system for badminton,
futsal, netball and handball) and ‘swing out’
basketball hoops. All of these facilities are
available to the community as well as the school
and will be fully integrated with the swimming
pool in due course.

Keeping cars under wraps
With so many drivers opting for an
electric vehicle, the clever folk at
Kings Road Garage in Berkhamsted,
recognised an opportunity…
Sales director Kieran Haw explained: ‘Our
reasoning was that so many people were going
electric - perhaps because their accountant told
them that financially it was a good move - but
had a car that they didn’t want to get rid of.
‘Because the electric car has to be on the drive
to charge, they no longer had room for a car they
might drive every so often. So we decided to
offer storage - it’s secure, dry, undercover, and we
offer packages that include regular maintenance
- such as running the engine up to temp, taking
the car for an MOT or regular service. We can
even offer to drive it to or from your home.’
Pendley Day Nursery is located in a unique
setting in Tring, and offers quality
childcare and development opportunities
for babies and children aged 0 months - 5 years.
The nursery promises a fantastic experience
for children, enabling them to ‘Grow, Learn &
Develop’ - its driving values.
The nursery offers expansive, safe and secure
indoor and outdoor space - all set in a peaceful
rural location.
Pendley Day Nursery is led and managed by
leading childcare practitioner Natasha Young.
Natasha is Level 6 qualified and she and her
team will provide the highest-quality care and
development opportunities for your child.
Along with new equipment and toys, the
nursery boasts fully trained, dedicated staff
– many at level 3 and above; a fully equipped
kitchen, with trained cooks providing a hot
lunch, as well as tea and snacks, and a large safe
car park for easy drop-off and collection.
They already have three cars stored longer
term, along with some shorter-term customers,
and Kieran says they believe they ‘are
undercutting others offering storage solutions’.
Find out more by calling 01442 863851.
Helping children to ‘grow, learn and develop’
The nursery is open from 8am until 6pm,
Monday to Friday, 51 weeks of the year.

Chiltern Society fights Marshcroft development
Conservation campaigners are continuing
the fight against a proposed development
of 1,400 houses on agricultural land in
Green Belt.
The development is the brainchild of
developers David Lock Associates, Redrow,
Harrow Estates, and Ryan and May, who plan to
call this new ‘garden suburb’ ‘Marshcroft’.
The land that has been pinpointed is accessed
by a narrow, unmade road and adjoins the
Chilterns AONB. The proposed development
would be bordered by the Grand Union Canal.
Bulbourne Road, Station Road and Grove Road.
The developers say they will provide an
‘enhanced natural environment, … open space
including extensive tree planting and a new
canalside park’.
However, Tom Beeston, chief officer at the
Chiltern Society, said: ‘As this countryside
already has a good number of trees, hedges,
open, worked farmland and canalside walks, we
fail to see how building 1,400 houses will afford
any environmental enhancement to the site or
the community.’
The plan for Marshcroft has been proposed at
a time when Dacorum Borough Council is still
working on its Local Plan for the next decade.
Countryside campaigners considered that the
Local Plan showed a disregard for the countryside,
Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the
Green Belt, and that its targets for new housing
were unnecessary and overambitious.
The Chiltern Society’s planning officer Colin
Blundell added that the fact that Dacorum
Borough Council has not yet finalised its Local
Plan, could be a sticking point for the developers:
‘Theoretically if the site is not allocated in a Local
Plan it should be more difficult to get planning
permission in the Green Belt.’
The Chiltern Countryside Group has also
raised objections to the proposed development,
stating: ‘We are strongly opposed to this kind
of ‘predatory’ development especially for the
site identified.’

Tring museum
proves it’s ACE!
Tring Local History Museum has been
awarded Full Accreditation by Arts
Council England.
The museum, run entirely by volunteers, now
matches up to the best, and largest museums in

the size of the establishment.
Tring’s history is narrated in an entertaining
and interesting way in the historic cattle-market
building in Brook Street, Tring.
Chairman Tim Amsden said: ‘This is a ringing
endorsement of our values and everything we
have achieved, and shows how far we have come
in the 11 years since the museum was founded.’
The museum is open on Fridays and Saturdays
from 10am to 3.30pm.

Tring Brewery turns 30
Tring Brewery
is celebrating
its 30th
anniversary of
brewing with the
launch of 12 unique
beers, each raising
funds and awareness
for Rennie Grove
Hospice Care.
The brewery will
mark its three-decade milestone with the revival
of a dozen acclaimed brews; recipes that will
enjoy a special re-release in support of Rennie
Grove Hospice Care.
The hospice logo will feature across each of
the monthly special designs, with one-off events
and competitions held throughout the year to
raise funds.
Rennie Grove Hospice Care is a charity
based in Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire,
providing specialist care and support for adults
and children with life-limiting illness. Through
Rennie Grove’s ‘Hospice at Home’ service,
available day and night, the charity offers
patients the best possible quality of life, with
additional support and resources for families to
allow every moment to matter.
The 12 ales will be available in pubs and direct
from the Dunsley Farm brewery shop on draught.
‘We look forward to seeing the monthly
specials they resurrect during the year, and
certainly hope that people enjoy them in the
knowledge that they are also supporting our
hospice at home care for local people,’ said
Tracey Hancock, director of fundraising at
Rennie Grove Hospice Care.
Jared Ward, communications at Tring Brewery,
added: ‘To be able to make a difference to those
connected with Rennie Grove is amazing: it’s a
cause which many of our team’s families have
benefited from, and we are very excited for the
year ahead!’
Early May Day start
for Aldbury Morris Men
Aldbury Morris Men will have an early
start on May Day (Sunday 1 May), as
they plan to dance at the pond in
Aldbury, starting at 6.15am.
Tony Smith told Living: “Morris dancers all
over the country gather on May Day as the sun
rises above the horizon. In Norfolk that’s about
5.15 - luckily for us there’s a convenient hill to the
east of Aldbury so we don’t see the sun until an
hour later! As usual, Aldbury Morris Men will be
dancing up the sun at dawn on May Day - and
hoping for a full season of dancing out thereafter.’
New members, young and old, are always
welcome. Contact squire@aldburymorris.

Did Cinderella get to the ball?
© Adam Hollier
After the turmoil of the past few months
of would we, wouldn’t we get the
pantomime back up and running at The
Court Theatre in Tring, we caught up with Ian
Gower, artistic director, to find out more.
So, Ian, how did it go?
‘After months of rehearsal and working in a
tight support bubble, the Panto team finally got
to their final dress rehearsal on 27 December:
the whole team had to test and prove they were
negative in the morning before arrival at the
theatre. All went well and the show was on!
Or was it? A new announcement was due that
afternoon,
the cast and
crew, ready to
perform, were
on tenterhooks
awaiting
Mr Johnson’s
announcement, which finally came - no new
Covid restrictions in England before new year.’
You must have been on the edge of your seats
- literally! So how did the shows go?
‘Fabulously well - the whole team pulled it out of
the hat. We were down a few tickets on previous
years and there were a few no-shows due to Covidrelated
incidents, but we are so grateful for the
support of our faithful audiences who came out
in their thousands over a week of performances.’
So what for the future?
‘Well, we’re not out of the woods yet, but this
has certainly bought us some time to rebuild
through 2022 and 2023 and hopefully get back
to where we were pre-pandemic, where between
the theatre charity and the landlord we had just
spent well over £100,000 on refurbishments,
including our lovely new seats, which have
remained little-used for pretty much two years!’

Tring film maker
gains plaudits
Tring photographer and
cinematographer Stephen
Kitchener has been gaining
recognition for his film Berlin –
Life behind the wire.
Stephen, who spent 21 years in
the RAF, made the film as his final
project to complete an MA in
Documentary Film.
He describes it: ‘After a gap of 31 years, I return
to Berlin, home for six and a half years, to see
what has changed and revisit places important
to those that served in the Royal Air Force.
Along with four military friends and colleagues,
we talk about what Berlin meant to us. These
reminiscences are from the point of view of the
occupying forces at the time.’
The film was named best student film at the
Multi Dimension Independent Film Festival,
was an award winner at the London Indie Short
Festival, and has been officially selected for
festivals in New York, Niagara Falls, and Berlin,
among others.
As a professional photographer, Stephen covers
sports, including triathlons, as well as weddings.

Volunteer drivers needed
People in Tring are being supported every
day by a group of keen volunteers who help
out with Community Transport.
Community Transport volunteers get to
know their passengers, providing important
social contact.
The volunteer team take their passengers
to appointments, and deliver shopping
and medical equipment for those who are
housebound or isolating. The team also provides
minibus drivers who take groups out to the
shops, social events, or day centres.
One of the drivers, Angela, said: ‘The thing
that I enjoy the most about volunteering is that
it gives me a real sense of happiness that the
elderly and vulnerable do not need to worry, and
I have a purpose… I have really enjoyed meeting
new people and some of the clients have asked

32 million passengers travelling through the
airport - compared with the current 19 million.
Airport owners Luton Rising, a subsidiary

latest consultation online and in person.
The expansion, which has prompted concerns
among Berkhamsted residents over the
environmental and noise impact it will have on
for me, which
is great.”
Demand is

The move follows the investment of £225
million in the Luton DART (Direct Air-Rail
Transit), which is set to open in the first half of
the year. The DART will bring passengers to the
airport from Luton Airport Parkway station in
just four minutes.
Councillor Javeria Hussain, Chair of Luton
Rising, said that the proposed expansion will
‘generate thousands more jobs and more than a
£1 billion increase in economic activity in Luton
and the neighbouring counties.’
The virtual consultation room, along with
details of the plans, went live in February at
www.lutonrising.org. Members of the public
will also be able to ask questions at 13 in-person

centrepiece for an Easter afternoon tea.
Method
1. Preheat oven to 200°C/ 180°C/Gas 4, then
grease and line two 20cm cake tins.
2. In a bowl or stand mixer, beat together the
butter and 200g of the sugar until pale and
creamy. Add the eggs, beating after each
addition, then carefully fold in the flour.
3. In a separate bowl mix 75ml of the
limoncello, 2 tbsp of the lemon juice and
soured cream together, then add to the
cake mixture. Divide between the cake tins
then place in the oven for approximately 30
minutes until golden brown. Remove and
leave to cool completely.
4. Meanwhile, add the rest of the sugar,
another 2 tbsp of the lemon juice and
limoncello into a small saucepan and bring
to the boil. Reduce heat and gently simmer
until you achieve a syrup-like consistency.
Set aside to cool completely.
5. In another separate bowl or using a stand
mixer, add the mascarpone, remaining
lemon juice, icing sugar and double cream
and mix for 1-2 minutes or until stiff
peaks form.
6. Once cakes are cooled remove them from
the tin and place one cake on a stand. Using
a spatula spread the top with mascarpone
cream then position the second cake on
top. Spread the remaining mascarpone
thinly all over the sponge until all areas are
covered and smooth.
7. Decorate the top of the cake with Opies
Lemon Slices then pour over the limoncello
syrup. Top with the ribbons of fresh
cucumber and meringue kisses just
before serving.

Wigginton folk
LOCAL
HISTORY
With thanks to Brenda Scott-Oldfield, Tring Camera Club and resident of Wigginton for the modern images.
Wigginton’s rich history
‘Wigginton is not a suburb of Tring, but instead a vibrant
place with its own distinctive personality,’
says Wigginton History Society member, Richard Tregoning
Spring 2021
Folklore has it that in the 18th century,
London released all the pimps and
prostitutes and placed them in
Wigginton - perhaps why it was known in
the past as Wicked Wigginton. However, that
NEVER happened!
But we do know that the people of
Wigginton had some attitude! In the 18th
century when the Lord of the Manor of Tring
tried to enclose Wigginton Common, the
people of the village tore down the wooden
fencing and burnt the lot… twice! Even in
the 19th century, Wigginton was so remote
that strangers were chased out or pushed in
the local ponds. There were no cars or buses
until 1935, and with steep hills on three sides,
making it hard to walk there, this kept the
highest village in the Chilterns quite isolated.
The village has a rich history, which may,
according to an article in Hertfordshire
Countryside in 1967, have started with the
Ancient Britons. A wic was a British, Roman
and Saxon stronghold - so Wic-ing-ton was
the town belonging to that stronghold. The
article states: ‘Wick Farm and Wick Wood
give some credence to this. Further, what is
now the council recreation ground was once
known as Polywick.’
The village was well established by the
time of the Norman Conquest. ‘The manor
of Wigentone, according to the Domesday
Book, was bestowed by the Conqueror upon
Earl Moreton, but only the church remains to
show that the Normans were there.’
The manor is believed to have been
20 / Tring Living www.livingmags.info

somewhere near what is now Tring’s Natural
History Museum.
With its rich history, the village has some
fascinating facts and fables within its past.
There are also some oddities, and some
mysteries…
• Grim’s Ditch runs through the parish - this
is a prehistoric bank and ditch earthwork
with no defined explanation
• No one knows where the Romans defeated
Boudicca in AD 60 but Wigginton has a
wood called Boudicca’s wood. Could she be
buried there?
• In Fox Road there is a number 96 but only
16 houses, and in Clay Hill, Wigginton
Bottom, there’s a number 243 but only
seven houses. Why? Because as the First
Lord Rothschild had houses, cottages and
farms built they were Estate numbered in
his records by the date they were built all
over the Tring Park Estate. He built more
than 243 dwellings until his death in 1915
- the exact number is hard to say, because
some of them - like those in Marsworth -
never had a number at all!
More fascinating facts about the village
include the fact that William the Conqueror
passed by Wigginton in 1066 on the way to
Berkhamsted Castle to accept the surrender
of London.
And according to the Domesday survey 20
years later in 1086, Wigginton was a place of
some importance and boasted two mills.
Several hundred years later, in the 19th
century, the village was known for its straw
plaiting industry. The Wigginton women
had such a good reputation for the quality
of their straw plaiting, which was used in
the hat trade, that the dealers used to walk
up that steep hill to buy from them. In the
Wigginton Bottom children
early part of the century a good straw-plaiter
could earn one pound a week, but by 1870 this
amount had dropped to just eight shillings.
Sadly the industry was eventually ended by
competition from China.
Later, Wigginton benefited from the
influence of the Rothschilds when the family
purchased Tring Park in 1872. They supported
the school, the church and the choir. For 25
years, Lady Emma Rothschild owned the
Champneys Estate but never lived there. (See
p42 for a review of a book that focuses on the
lives of the Rothschild women.)
With its lofty position, it used to be said that
Wigginton was worth a visit simply for the
view of Ivinghoe Beacon. Today it has plenty
to offer its residents, including a thriving
WI with 90 members; an Outstanding rated
primary school; a film society; Wigginton
Preschool; active Garden and History
Societies; The Greyhound, the highest pub
in the Chilterns; St Bartholomew’s Church
and the Baptist Chapel. The sports field and
children’s playground have been recently
restored by Wigginton Parish Council,
and are situated next to the Wigginton
Community Shop, where more than 150
people a day, including walkers and cyclists,
come to buy food and snacks.
Wigginton has certainly changed since the
days when villagers chased off strangers, and
offers far more than just a pretty view.

AGED
FOR FITNESS
The best workouts for every age
Generally speaking, the older we
get, the less we feel like the lean,
mean, dynamic machines we once
were. That creaking sound when we rise up
from our beds in the morning is not a loose
headboard, it’s an ageing set of limbs!
The reality though is staying fit as we get
older is as achievable and realistic as it ever
was. The secret to reaching and preserving
good health simply comes through careful
exercise selection.
This is the reason footballers tend to
hang up their boots in their late thirties,
and gymnasts quit even earlier – the
body just can’t cope with the hard,
crunching or relentless demands of some
activities; yet switching up lower impact
pursuits, such as cycling, swimming, even
walking, can and will preserve and extend
health well beyond the years many of us
believe possible.
Here’s our guide to appropriate exercise
types for your age – see if you can get
inspired.
Twenties
You have time and energy, so this is when
you want to get out there, explore different
sports, try a variety of workouts and figure
out what you really love. This decade is
a time of freedom, with fewer people
than ever in the 20-30 age group weighed
down by childcare. What’s more, in the
modern era, people can enjoy almost
unrestricted access to the widest array
of leisure pursuits.
Think team games, rock climbing,
surfing, plus anything that is challenging
and also offers a social aspect.
In career and relationships, your twenties
are regarded as the decade of discovery, and
that goes for fitness and health too.
22 / Tring Living

HEALTH AND BEAUTY
Thirties
The body’s metabolism begins to slow
down in your thirties, so start including
interval training into your workouts to
burn fat effectively. You also begin to lose
muscle mass – around a third of a pound
per year – so lifting heavy weights once
a week is a good way to build back what
you’ve lost.
Also consider yoga and meditation for
relaxion, as this decade is thought to be
one of life’s most stressful, with job and
family pressures beginning to build.
Forties
Your forties represent a vital time for
exercise, and they’ll really determine how
your body ages over the second half of
your life. Cardio is vital to keep fat from
settling on your abdomen (a leading cause
of heart of disease), and weightbearing
activities like hiking and jogging are
particularly good for building bone
density. Strength training is also a worthy
investment for later on.
What you do in this decade is essential
where building a platform for good health
in later life is concerned.
Fifties
They say life begins at 50, so make the
most of your free time by taking up a
hobby that inspires and challenges you,
like tennis, dancing or hiking.
In this decade it’s also vital to maintain
suppleness and flexibility, so consider
attending a Pilates or yoga class to
refine joint movement and build muscle
memory.
“
They say life begins at 50, so make the
most of your free time by taking up
a hobby that inspires and challenges
you, like tennis, dancing or hiking
Sixties and beyond
You may not think you need to focus too
much on strength training in your sixties,
but the opposite is true. Movement and
energy at any age is essential, and studies
have shown that physical activity can
prevent a decline in the brain’s white
matter, warding off strokes, as well as
conditions such as dementia
and Alzheimer’s.
Along with lifting moderate weights
once a week, try to do 30 minutes of gentle
aerobic activities like walking or gardening.
Your body and brain will thank you.

HAPPY
FISH, HAPPY CHILD?
The benefits of fish, and
other pets, for the development
of our young ones
W
hen the subject of pets creeps
into the conversation in an
already bustling family home,
the tendency of parents is usually to state
they have enough on their plates without
the added maintenance of a cat, dog,
hamster or pygmy goat.
Yet what’s clear from research is that our
young ones can gain real engagement and
significant quantities of empathetic life
skills when they are responsible for the
welfare of a pet. They will also learn about
respect, responsibility and compassion for
tending to a little life.
While initial studies have always named
fish as the perfect pet for children who
suffer from autism, more rounded thinking
now brings in a range of pets and a wider
scope of children, so that any – whether or
not they possess learning difficulties – can
feel enriched by looking after pets.
Here are our top five suggestions:
ONE - Consider your type of pet
For kids to bond with pets it makes sense
for the relationship to be comfortable in
both directions. While smaller dogs, for
instance, are a much more practical choice
than larger ones, so too must the pet have
the temperament that it will withstand a
child’s inquisitive, perhaps clumsy actions.
26 / Tring Living www.livingmags.info

PARENTING AND KIDS
A chinchilla, for instance, has fragile ribs
and it’s easy to squeeze it to a point where
it may pass out or die; while reptiles carry
salmonella which can be passed on when
children touch them then put fingers in
their mouths.
The most popular pets for young children
are older puppies, young dogs, older
kittens, guinea pigs, older rabbits, hamsters
and fish.
TWO - Create and stick to a schedule
If introducing a pet into the home, it’s a
good idea to bring in a set of rules at the
same time. These would include a list of
duties including feeding, cleaning, walks,
and overall a delegation of chores that
mean every member of the family takes
shared responsibility for its welfare.
THREE - Let your child discover his or
her own stimulation
Fish have often been called out as the
perfect pet for children because they
require little maintenance, are incredibly
relaxing to watch, and will respond
to approaches without ever finding
themselves in danger.
Yet any pet can be a great stimulation
for a child looking for entertainment
and company, particularly when other
members of the household are busy, which
particularly might be the case with onlychild
families.
Allowing your child quiet time to really
get to know their pet, and to create their
own bond away from the interruptions of
others, is a great idea that will really pay
back as the relationship develops.
FOUR - Communication
One of the main benefits of having a pet
is in the way it promotes communication
between itself and a young person.
Scientists believe this action is then
replicated by kids in everyday situations
with other people, boosting social skills,
adding new layers of confidence, selfawareness
and belief.
“

a pet is in the way it promotes
communication between itself and

“
FIVE - Don’t rush a decision
And finally, as is always the case, don’t
rush the decision to bring a pet into the
home for the benefit of your child. If you
are looking to build their development,
stimulation and interest, then learning the
first lesson of pet-owning – that nothing
comes straight away and must be earned –
is a great way to start!

Why the cult of the feature
wall is back in fashion
WALL TO
WALL
Around the turn of the Millennium,
we found ourselves confronted
with a new dawn, with new
realities. There were mobile phones, tablet
computers and, perhaps best of all, the
‘feature wall’.
The term, otherwise known as an
‘accent wall’, invited home interior design
experimenters to thrown caution to the
wind in giving one side of a room a new
lease of life, either through repainting or
wallpapering in a different colour.
The feature wall concept therefore
became a go-to idea, be that for bedrooms,
living spaces or even kitchens. They were
regarded as a great way of redesigning a
space without making a big investment - a
day’s worth of work that would transform
a room for years to come; or perhaps just
a few months, depending on your desire
to keep reinventing what could quickly
become a versatile and adaptable space.
As the Noughties progressed though, our
desire to stand out became less prevalent,
and tastes merged rather more towards flat
colours and drops of detail, rather than one
big, brave, statement wall.
And yet, here in 2021, the whispers are
that the feature wall is about to make a
triumphant return. In interior design, just
as in fashion, it’s supposed that a period of
repression and confinement – such as the
one we’re still living through in wake of the
Covid-19 pandemic – does unusual things
to the human psyche, causing us to break
free, experiment, and cast aside formality.
With that in mind then, if you feel your
route back to finding yourself might begin
with a roll of wallpaper or a pot of paint,
here are some golden rules to follow:
32 / Tring Living www.livingmags.info

PROPERTY
ONE
Complement, don’t confuse
The temptation with a feature wall is
to bring about a complete shift in focus
from the rest of the room, but in actual
fact even the subtlest of changes will
make a big noise, given that this will
be a standout wall, with all the others
remaining the same.
So use colours and textures that feel
different, but still work with existing
colours, furniture, floor coverings and
styles that are in the room.
TWO
Expose and expand
A feature wall works because it is a
flat layer of space that imposes itself
on the rest of the room. With that in
mind, pick the wall that is the room’s
focal point.
Remember too, you don’t want a space
that is going to be crowded in pictures and
decoration, or blocked by furniture, sofas
and the like.
You’ll also want to think about where light
enters the room – your preference should
be for it to hit your feature
wall, thus radiating all its
statement gloriousness.
THREE
Space is the Place
A feature wall works best
in a room that has space,
which is why on most occasions the front
room is chosen.
While it’s a nice idea that you can bring
a study, small bedroom or boxroom to life
with a spark of individuality, the reality is
that using limited area for a feature wall
will most likely only serve to make a small
space even smaller.
FOUR
Living in a Material World
It’s not just the colours you’re
pursuing that are going to
make an impression – let your
materials do the work too.
Although wallpaper and
paint are the preferred
methods for giving a wall
a new lease of life, there’s
nothing to stop you using
wood, cork, bamboo, tiles or
even stone, if it means your
feature wall in design can
scale the expanses of your
imagination!

SEEDED
SENSE
What you should be planting now to ensure maximum
spray for the summer
While March can sometimes feel
more like winter than spring,
now is the time to start sowing
seeds if your cherished outdoor space is to
flourish in the summer months.
Cosmos
The beauty of cosmos is not just the
beautiful, delicate multi-coloured foliage
that radiates away from long stems, nor the
fact this low-maintenance plant will reach
full maturity in two months and hang
around for the lion’s share of the summer.
Instead, perhaps its greatest attribute
is the rich, spiky, complex foliage that
accompanies it just a couple of inches
below. This can look stunning in itself, and
will quickly fill unsightly, patchy or earthy
areas of beds.
of colour spilling out of long stalks and
clinging to any nearby supports.
Keep them well watered and use a high
potash fertiliser when flower buds arrive;
plus the more you pluck these delicately
scented flowers, the quicker they’ll grow.
Petunia
A favourite as far as bedding plants go,
petunias offer colour, detail and durability
all wrapped together. They’ll be present
until late autumn, and are just as good in
hanging baskets for the way they elegantly
roll over the sides of containers.
From single and double blooms, to checked,
veined, single-colour or striped, they have a
fine essence that lifts and refreshes.
Sweet pea
Sweet peas need to be sown by April and
should be placed deep into pots or modules
so their ranging roots can be left to produce
a perfect flower. And when that arrives, so
too has summer, with flourishing curtains

Lupins
One of the fast-growing perennials, lupins
should produce flowers in their first year,
and placing them in a sheltered position in
the garden will ward off most enemies.
If you get the look right, these tall, conelike
buildings of flower will amaze and
enchant, as well as providing a wonderful
base for ladybirds and bumble bees.
California poppy
This is a gorgeous cup-shaped flower that
offers rich shades of red, orange and yellow.
It won’t hang around for long but will be
with you from May through to early July,
and can be best preserved in full sun.
By late summer, this tender flower
will lose some of its resilience, but the
story doesn’t end there. Simply pick your
remaining poppies and add to food, either
direct into a salad or as a garnish.
Lobelia
Lobelias are the edging border’s plant of
choice, and will grow in full sun or partial
shade, with tall spikes give way to dark,
bright red flowers. They’ll last well into
the frosty parts of early winter, so if you’re
looking for colour, variety – they come
in upright and bushy varieties – plus
longevity, the ‘cardinal flower’ should be on
your list.

WALKS AROUND TOWN
This year’s Graham Greene Festival will take place from 29 September to 2 October.
Graham Greene’s Common
Discover author Graham Greene’s writings about Berkhamsted on this walk
by Berkhamsted Town Council. Choose to walk 3 1/2 miles, or opt for the
circular 2 ¼ mile route
This walk starts and ends at
Berkhamsted Station and takes in
various parts of Berkhamsted and
Northchurch Common, which feature
significantly in the works of Graham
Greene. The route includes Kitchener’s
Field, the car park at the top of New Road
(an alternative start and finish point), the
Common, Frithsden Beeches and the WW1
practise trenches.
A downloadable audio commentary,
incorporating Greene’s own writings,
describes what to look out for along the way.
There is parking nearby at the Railway
Station, town centre car parks or in the car
park at the top of New Road. Public transport
links are detailed on the route map.
1. Leave the railway station by way of the
pedestrian subway at the Platform 4
exit. Walk along Brownlow Road with
the Castle to your right. Where the road
bends right, keep straight on and go
through the right-hand gate into the
playing fields.
(Those travelling by car may prefer to go
direct to the car park by the junction at
the top of New Road and Ashridge Road,
opposite the Inns of Court memorial)
2. Leaving the kissing gate directly behind
you, go uphill and you will find the
abandoned rifle butt a few steps to the
right off ‘the steep clay path between
oaks and beeches above Kitchener’s
Fields’, just before the open Common.
3. Retrace your steps to the path and
continue uphill to the open common.
As the ground levels out, follow a
diagonal path, crossing two bridleways,
and passing through Frithsden Beeches.
The complete walk, approximately
1 kilometre from the rifle butt, takes you
to a metalled track, the access road to
Brick Kiln Cottage, at its junction with
Ashridge Road.
FULL DETAILS OF THE WALK CAN ALSO BE FOUND AT WWW.LIVINGMAGS.CO.UK/TYPE/WALKS
40 / Tring Living www.livingmags.info

4. Follow the same path in the reverse
direction until you reach the junction
with the second bridleway, its marker
post helpfully marked in indelible
marker pen 55. Turn left, heading for the
WW1 trenches, car park and home.
5. Leaving the trenches behind, continue
walking along the bridleway in the same
direction and the car park is 350 metres
away, to your left.
6. For those returning on foot to the railway
station, follow the route by which you
came up, past Well Farm and through the
fields to Brownlow Road and past the
Castle, now to your left. The railway
station is straight ahead of you.

BOOKSThe latest
books
from our
local and
regional
authors
Plan a few quiet nights in reading one of these books, all with a local interest
Before We Grow Old
By Clare Swatman
Former Living Magazines editor Clare has just published her latest book, Before We
Grow Old. This love story spans 20 years, as it examines how love can last a lifetime,
even if events interrupt the course of true love.
As always, Clare writes beautifully, bringing a whole host of emotions for the reader.
Fran and Will were planning to marry, until Will’s mum died and he moved across the
world. When they meet each other by chance 20 years later, their romance is rekindled,
but will love be easier for them second time around? A lovely, gentle read, that also takes you for a ride on
an emotional rollercoaster!
Clare lives in Berkhamsted with her husband and two boys.
The Leviathan
By Rosie Andrews
If you’re a fan of books such as The Familiars and The Binding by Stacey Halls, and
Philippa Gregory’s Dark Tides, Rosie Andrews’ debut novel will be right up your street.
Rosie cleverly combines a historical novel with a sinister, gothic atmosphere to create a
compelling read that will keep you gripped until the very end.
Thomas Treadwater comes home from the Civil War in 1643 when his sister informs
him that a new servant has been accused of improper conduct with their widowed
father. He arrives home to find his father has suffered a stroke and the servant has been imprisoned for
witchcraft. As Thomas endeavours to unravel the mystery he encounters something dark and ancient…
Our Bookshop in Tring recently hosted an evening with Rosie Andrews and signed copies of The
Leviathan are available in store. Rosie lives in Hemel Hempstead with her husband and daughter.
The Women of Rothschild
By Natalie Livingstone
The Women of Rothschild tells the untold story of the women of this most famous
banking dynasty.
The Rothschild women had fascinating lives. They broke code at Bletchley Park,
played a major role in the environmental movement, and even introduced the overarm
serve in women’s tennis!
They had many links with the surrounding area: Constance de Rothschild taught
in the Jews’ Free Schools around the family estate of Aston Clinton, while Hannah de
Rothschild eventually inherited Mentmore.
Miriam Rothschild, meanwhile, inherited a love of nature from her father Charles, as well as her uncle
Walter’s collection of moths and butterflies, and the editorship of the Tring Museum journal.
