Four historic sites in Shropshire will have new meadows created as part of a national plan to mark the coronation of King Charles.
English Heritage has made a coronation pledge to create 100 meadows at 100 historic sites over the next decade and four sites in the county have been selected: Boscobel and White Ladies Priory, Moreton Corbet, Wenlock Priory and Wroxeter Roman ruins.
A spokesman for English Heritage said:"To celebrate the coronation of His Majesty King Charles III, English Heritage will enhance and create one hundred meadows at its castles and abbeys, prehistoric stone circles and palaces.
The spokesman added:"Whilst the English Heritage estate is relatively unusual in not having been subject to changing agricultural policy, the grassland surrounding its historic monuments has become ‘municipalised’ over the past century; diminishing the botanical diversity enjoyed by earlier generations."There is an abundance of sites where – with the right management – meadows, both big and small, can be created and flourish.
"We’re creating more natural spaces at the heart of our historic properties, ensuring that wildflowers and wildlife can flourish there once again, and helping our visitors to step back into history and experience something with which the sites’ historic occupants would have been familiar.”“In a decade’s time, our coronation pledge will be an inspiring legacy of established, restored and new meadows at 100 of our historic sites – big and small – right across England.
Working with wildlife groups and volunteers local to each site, English Heritage will source seed from existing meadows in the area to ensure the reintroduction of viable, local species of wildflower to each site. "Together, we look forward to a future where England’s best historic sites boast the highest quality grasslands, supporting a myriad of diverse meadow plants and wildlife. With so many of our grassland wild plant species facing severe risks, this insightful initiative is unquestionably a step in the right direction.”
