Sir Herbert Meade Featherstonhaugh, G.C.V.O, C.B., D.S.O., a five page write up with black and white illustrations of the house exterior, garden and grounds. This issue is in very good condition with a lovely portrait frontispiece of The Duchess of Norfolk.

Uppark is a National Trust Property. In 1989 on 30th August the building was devastated by fire caused by workmen repairing the roof. The fire broke our during opening hours, much of the art work and furniture were carried out of the burning building by members of the Meade-Featherstonhaugh family, National Trust staff and members of the public. The contents of the garret and the first floor were lost completely.
