These Historic gardens provide the setting for some of our nation's greatest architectural gems - the majority are Registered Grade 1, 2* or 2 in their own right on the @HistoricEngland #NHLE list
Our heartfelt sympathies go to those who are losing their jobs, despite their immense collective knowledge & hard work
To those who will attempt to make up the short fall
To those managers who have had the worst week of their careers, breaking the news to their loyal colleagues
