100 Meadows Across 100 Historic Sites
To celebrate the coronation of His Majesty King Charles III in 2023, English Heritage are
creating and enhancing 100 meadows at their castles and abbeys, prehistoric stone
circles and palaces.
Over the next decade English Heritage – working with Plantlife – will create a natural
legacy at 100 historic sites, establishing flower-rich grasslands right across England.
From Stonehenge on Salisbury Plain to the Jewel Tower in the heart of Westminster, they
will be reviving natural meadows which have been lost, and revitalising those that already
exist.
Conserving England's Meadows
Meadows are one of the rarest habitats in the UK, with 97% of this habitat lost in Britain
since World War II. English Heritage properties have some of the last remaining
meadows, which are vital for biodiversity.
With careful management, areas of longer grass have been developed to encourage
growth. The grasslands in and around many of their sites can provide much needed habitat
for a wide range of flora and fauna such as wildflowers and butterflies. On some sites
there has been a long history of grasslands and meadows, including the meadows at
Down House and Osborne.
The exclusive Meadow design is inspired by illustrations of wildflowers native to our English meadows, offered two colours to coordinate with our plain fabrics.
