1980In this book Gordon Beningfield celebrates a classic countryside that was once typical of much of England but is increasingly falling victim to modern intensive farming and the spread of urbanization. Gordon Beningfield"s world is centred on the gentle, rural landscapes of Hertfordshire and the open downs and lush valleys of Dorset. Here are the dense, leafy hedgerows with their rich variety of flowers, offering cover to a wealth of creatures but only a hindrance to the plough. The lush, sweet-scented water-meadows he portrays so evocatively are equally shrinking before the onslaught of mechanical diggers and drainage schemes promoted by those who see the balance sheet of the countryside as being purely a matter of finance. Even the broad-leaved woods, which provide tantalizing glimpses of deer and badgers, cannot compete as a cash crop with alien conifers. Gordon Beningfield captures the essence of a countryside that man has created in harmony with nature and which he is now inexorably destroying. Gordon Beningfield is almost unique among artists who have made a reputation painting wildlife since he is also a perceptive and gifted landscape painter."141p. index Donor inscription on ffep, else fine Book

1995. "The Moorlands of England" captures the unique landscape and unforgettable nature of both the upland and lowland moors. It traces the rich human legacy with evocative photographs of ancient standing stones and circles followed by images of the distinctive towns and walled farms of later inhabitants. Subsequent chapters describe the moors of myth and imagination-from the Arthurian legend to the novels of the Brontes-and the experience of life on the moors today-from the pressures faced by farmers to the establishment of the National Parks system and the fight to save the moors from further misuse and encroachment. A gazetteer and maps at the end of this splendid book provide a moor by moor breakdown of useful information.144p.illus index Book
