The Historic Houses Association (HHA) represents over 1,640 of the UK's privately and charitably owned historic houses, castles and gardens.

These are listed buildings or designated gardens, usually Grade I or II*, and are often outstanding. Many are considered to be iconic symbols of Britain's unique heritage.

Around 500 of these properties open their doors to visitors for days out, special tours, school visits, film locations, weddings and events, or as memorable places to stay. 24 million people a year visit HHA Member properties and there are over 45,000 Friends of the HHA. Members range from iconic stately homes such as Blenheim Palace, Highclere Castle, Castle Howard, Knebworth House, Longleat and Burghley House, to more intimate houses such as Traquair in Scotland, Treowen in Wales and Belle Isle in Northern Ireland. Most are still private family homes.

The Association was established in 1973 to help owners conserve these wonderful places in the interests of the nation and carries out important lobbying, advisory and marketing work on behalf of Member properties.

My thanks to Jane Harris who sent this poem Jane also added this little rythme by Morris over the airwaves from her home in Australia: Bishop: English as she is spoke I take it you already know Of tough and bough and cough and dough?

Others may stumble, but not you, On hiccough, thorough, tough and through?

Well done! And now you wish, perhaps, To learn of less familiar traps?

Beware of heard, a dreadful word That looks like beard and sounds like bird.

And dead: it’s said like bed, not bead – For goodness sake don’t call it “deed”!

Watch out for meat and great and threat.

(They rhyme with suite and straight and debt.)

A moth is not a moth in mother No both in bother, broth in brother.

And here is not a match for there Nor dear and fear for bear and pear.

And then there’s dose and rose and lose – Just look them up – and goose and choose.

And cork and work and card and ward And font and front and word and sword.

And do and go and thwart and cart – Come, come, I’ve hardly made a start!

A dreadful language? Man alive.

I’d mastered it when I was five.

One day I lost a preposition.

It went and hid beneath a chair and angrily I cried: “Perdition, up from out of under there.”

Correctness is my vade mecum, And straggling phrases I abhor, And yet I wondered, "What should he come Up from out of under for?"

Bishop was Professor of Romance Literature at Cornell University, where he was also University Historian. He had a reputation for wit and scholarship, and a flair for limericks and mystique. He seems to have been prejudiced against elves, but who can blame him? At least he was not prejudiced against stranded prepositions.

From Out A Darker Sea comes to All Souls in Cheriton At 7pm on Tuesday 5th December, Brooklyn-based contemporary percussion group Sō Percussion will be in Cheriton to present an audiovisual exploration of the social history of British coal mining in From Out a Darker Sea. For two centuries, the coal industry formed the backbone of many towns and cities across England. Entire communities sprang into existence as fervent mining activity fuelled the industrial revolution. Integrating art, narrative, photography, film and an original musical soundscape performed live, Sō Percussion – known for their innovative and original productions – capture the environment, personal stories, and aspirations of a community fighting against industrial decline.

The Guardian describes their performance as " a haunting and often deeply moving requiem for an industry and its people" which is being performed in a handful of sacred spaces across the UK. Strange Cargo is honoured to be partnering with Forma Arts to bring this beautiful event to All Souls Church in Cheriton. Click here to buy tickets and read the Guardian review.

From Out a Darker Sea is presented at All Souls Cheriton in partnership with Strange Cargo, co-produced by the Sacred Spaces Network Project, produced

by Forma and supported by Arts Council England’s Strategic Touring programme 15

From the cutting-edge London design agency Here Design - writer and poet Philip Cowell, and award-winning designer Caz Hildebrand, author of The Herbarium, this playful, original, beautifully designed book brings to life the punctuation marks we use every day, including: The dashing dash So-called "quotation marks" The colon: and on and on.

The Grammar of Spice is one of the world’s missing books. It will change the way we understand spices and the role they play in defining not only our food but also our place in the world. The essence of each spice is explored in a brief history peppered with interesting anecdotes and tips, and accompanied by reproductions of surface decoration from Owen Jones’s original book, The Grammar of Ornament. The book is beautiful to look at and hold, packed with well-researched material, and will change the way a generation appreciates the incredible world of flavours and tastes that spices open up to us.

Herbarium explores the histories, associations and uses of 100 herbs, as well as providing ideas for both food and wellbeing.

Each entry features a specially commissioned illustration with texts that include the botanical name, place of origin, varieties and areas where the herb is most commonly grown. The essence of each herb is explored in a brief history peppered with interesting anecdotes, complemented by suggestions of classic combinations and helpful tips for gardeners. A reference section includes pieces on how to grow and keep herbs, seasonality and a map showing where our herbs are grown.

A contemporary evolution of the traditional herbarium, presented in a fresh way for a younger audience and a new generation of cooks, Herbarium will expand readers’ knowledge, improve culinary skills and enhance their appreciation of the incredible world of tastes offered by herbs.
