This Radley Then & Now event focused on the grounds and landscape of the College.

A Beautiful Place: Radley’s Changing Landscape took place via Zoom on 2nd March 2023. The talk was led by Archivist, Clare Sargent, with contributions for the College’s Estates Bursar, David Anderson, and the Director of the Countryside Centre, Charlie Herbert, and plenty of valuable input from members of the community who joined the event.

The talk explored the more than one thousand years of history of the College landscape, including evidence of medieval farming visible through modern LIDAR imagery, landscaping by Capability Brown, and Radley’s future plans for sustainable energy production, and new woodland planting.

It was wonderful to have so many join us for this wonderful exploration of the College’s grounds and landscape, and we are grateful for the thoughts and memories that they shared on the call.
