CLANDON LIVES ON

It was disappointing to see the National Trust’s work described as “one-sided” in the June edition of The Critic, given the wonderful range of landscapes, buildings and stories we share with our members.

Clandon Park is a fascinating place with a rich and layered history, and we talk about all of this with our visitors; from its role as a field hospital in the First World War, to the Onslow family’s political contributions as MPs and Speakers of the Commons, as well as the house’s beautiful architecture and collections. We are incredibly grateful for the support historic families give us and continue to work openly and actively with the present Earl of Onslow as we care for Clandon.

We welcomed visitors back to Clandon just months after the fire, and have continued to offer access to the house as the project develops. We have also been keeping the public up to date with the progress and discoveries we have been making and your readers can see the latest on our website.

With thanks, Dr Kent Rawlinson,

Project Director, Clandon Park
