Town & Country Notebook

Letters to the Editor

That boat has sailed

Athena • Cultural Crusader

My favourite painting Jenny Jefferies • The Lark’s First Flight by Albert Bruce-Joy

We need to trade on a level playing field • Life after the NFU and why MPs of all parties need to sort a food strategy

A marvel revived • A major restoration project has brought one of Britain’s greatest Victorian buildings back to splendour and life. Steven Brindle explains the extraordinary story of how it came to be

The legacy • Philip Wayre and the restoration of the otter

Our incomparable coastline • Our beautiful, infinitely varied coast has become central to our national concept of what makes Britain so special, says Peter Waine

New looks for a new season • Events, news and inspired ideas for interiors, chosen by Amelia Thorpe

Why old is gold • Giles Kime pays homage to some of the most inspiring books on interior design ever written

It’s all about you • Last month, London Design Week revealed a more personal approach to creating interiors, with some exciting and distinctive results

Wedding belles • With parkland or rural settings, country houses make for idyllic wedding venues, as the vendors of these three properties have found

Keys to the kingdom • Buying agents excel at gaining access to houses of which there’s nary a whisper on the market, finds Annabel Dixon

My kingdom for The Cottage • Be it the charming Rose Cottage, the possibly soggy Marsh Farm or the more eccentric Gruntfuttock Hall, the name of your house matters, says Eleanor Doughty
