\u201cAll ye who enter Knebworth Park
\n<\/em>One moment pause these words to mark
\n<\/em>This property belongs to me
\n<\/em>As visitors here welcome be
\n<\/em>As you proceed please feel a duty
\n<\/em>Not to disfigure Nature\u2019s beauty
\n<\/em>With remnants of a picnic meal
\n<\/em>Silver paper or orange peel.
\n<\/em>If you are smokers be so kind
\n<\/em>As not to leave a trail behind
\n<\/em>Of cigarette cards, matches, rags
\n<\/em>Empty packets or paper bags.
\n<\/em>If you have such litter, leave it
\n<\/em>In baskets furnished to receive it.
\n<\/em>Give no one cause to think you hateful
\n<\/em>And I the owner will be grateful,
\n<\/em>And ever gladly make you free
\n<\/em>Of places that are loved by me.\u201d
\n<\/em>Victor, 2nd Earl of Lytton, 1930s<\/p>\n

The start of another summer season! – Our 36th<\/sup> in modern times.\u00a0 It was my great-grandfather Victor who first opened the house and park to visitors, before the Second World War.\u00a0 But even before that, in the 19th<\/sup> Century, it is said, the butler would be happy to show visitors around, if the family were not at home \u2013 quite a thought!<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

Lots of excitement to look forward to this summer, including 20 special event days \u2013 but not, as I reported in the last issue, the Status Quo and Robin Gibb picnic concerts.\u00a0 Ironically, on the day the March issue of the Parish News was being distributed, the concert promoter called to say that he was cancelling the events.\u00a0 Disappointing \u2013 but music will return before too long, I am sure, to the greatest rock venue in the country!<\/p>\n
