REPORT ON PLANTATIONS ON ESTATE OF RAYNHAM, NORFOLK. 335 
number have therefore been marked, with a view to improve both 
the landscape and the pasture. When they are removed it will give 
a fine effect from the West Raynham approach, more especially if 
the lake is cleaned out, as I consider that no landscape view can 
be reckoned complete in which water does not form a part, and 
when it does exist it ought always to be made the most of. 
16. Harpuine’s PASTURE. 
This is also a perfect jumble of fine young park trees growing 
into one another, and require to be well opened up to show the 
beautiful landscape they now shut out from the West Raynham 
entrance. A number of trees have been marked, and when they 
are removed, it may be found necessary to take down more, to 
open up the beautiful scenery. 
17. TREES NEAR THE CHURCH. 
Several of the trees around the church have been marked, which, 
when felled, will show a great improvement. I would suggest that 
the Irish yew in the churchyard be transplanted, or cut down, as it 
quite obstructs a charming view from the church door. 
18. Mr Savory’s Pasture. 
This division is well furnished with splendid park trees, and 
forms a fine feature in the landscape viewed from the opposite side 
of the lake near the Hall. The horse-chestnuts, limes, elms, and 
walnuts would be difficult to match anywhere else. Marked ten 
trees for felling ; and great care will be necessary in marking any 
more, for fear of showing the village from the Hall. 
19. BELT BY SIDE oF LAKE, 
This should be carefully thinned, and put into Mr Savory’s 
pasture as far as the osier bed. Great care must be taken to leave 
only the best of the outside trees. 
20. Rounp BusH PLANTATION. 
Consists of oak, ash, beech, elm, etc., very much drawn up. It 
should be thinned gradually, with great care, every two or three 
years, till only the best trees are left.
