We welcome guests Ellie and Julie from The Parks Trust to tell us all about Great Linford Manor Park. We explore the original pleasure gardens, learn about the doctor/reverend/occultist Richard Napier, find out just how furious canals and railways can make people, and hear about the park’s recent restoration.

Ellie Broad is Project Engagement Officer with The Parks Trust and led the community engagement and activity parts of the Great Linford Manor Park Heritage Fund project. Julie Ireland is a volunteer with The Parks Trust and leads walks around the manor’s parkland.

You can find out more about the project at https://www.theparkstrust.com/our-work/great-linford-manor-park-heritage-fund-project/ and more about the history of Great Linford at https://www.greatlinfordhistory.co.uk/
