Commissioned poems and short stories about National Trust houses’ connections to the British Empire. The creative pieces you will hear were produced with the guidance of 14 Colonial Countryside historians.
The Colonial Countryside project commissioned 10 authors, whose pieces will be published by Peepal Tree Press in Spring 2022. This illustrated book will also contain short historical commentaries and a photo essay by the project’s commissioned photographer, Ingrid Pollard.
