BRITAIN’S TREASURES
NATIONAL TRUST REPORT.
[BRITISH OFFICIAL WIRELESS.]
RUGBY, August 10.
The National Trust for preserving beautiful and historic places in the English countryside states in their report for 1932 that the Trust has now opened nearly 220 sites. Last year the Trust proceeded with the re-affore-station of Box Hill, Surrey, where 1300 young trees haev been planted. On behalf of the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings, the Trust has taken over Montacute House, a perfect example of Elizabethan architecture, and formerly the home of Lord Curzon, and has similarly taken the Assembly Rooms at Bath for the nation. The summit of Dunkery Beacon, Exmoor, was acquired and an old Yorkshire bridge at Stainforth. It is hoped soon to acquire Watersmeet Valley, in Devon.
