[John Evelyn @JohnEvelynFRS]

Jan 1653. I began to set out the oval garden at #SayesCourt, which was before a rude orchard and all the rest one entire field of 100 acres, without any hedge, except the hither holly hedge joining the bank of mount walk.

[Sayes Court @Sayes_Court]

Come on down this Saturday 22/9 to for @openhouselondon at Sayes Court Park for a waltz through history with the wonderful model of @JohnEvelynFRS 's #sayescourt on display. Tours starting on the hour between 11am and 3pm - can't wait to see you there to share the glorious story!

@gilliandarley @deptfordfolk And also the second name on the list! totalling £3,000. So instrumental was Evelyn to realising the creation of Greenwich Hospital, he laid its foundation stone.

Thanks so much to all that came on the @Sayes_Court project's tour of #sayescourt at #convoyswharf and @oldtidemillgrdn last week as part of the @talklandscape conference #VLconf2018 An amazing an inspiring day!

@Wright1Carole @Whicheloe (2/2) ... raising of public awareness around the importance of spaces like @oldtidemillgrdn that will help to put the value of the urban landscape on the political agenda. (BB)

[Sayes Court @Sayes_Court]

@Wright1Carole @Whicheloe (1/2) Principally, it is lack of political will expressed by the "presumption in favour of sustainable development" enshrined within planning policy (NPPF), undisclosed developer Viability Statements, LA fear of legal action, etc. @Wright1Carole is absolutely right, it is the...

@oldtidemillgrdn It was a privilege.

"Each neighbourhood has layers of narrative; each individual has a different focus. #Landscape is a primary resource, capable of bringing us together. These #spaces can only ever really belong to local people; we should realise their dreams" - Roo Angell, @Sayes_Court #VLConf2018

"Let’s avoid a situation like we have in #Deptford at the moment. Let's re-frame an approach to #design where the #public becomes the client. #Communities are your greatest resource; incorporate their #diverse voices into your brief" - Roo Angell @Sayes_Court #VLConf2018

[Sayes Court @Sayes_Court]
