England Under Trust
By J. Dixon-Scott
London: Alexander Maclehose & Co, 1937. First Edition

" J. Dixon-Scott's England Under Trust (London: Alexander Maclehose & Co., 1937 — First Edition) is a reflective and evocative survey of Britain's landscape heritage at a time when rural England was undergoing rapid change. Drawing on his skills as both writer and photographer, Dixon-Scott examines the work of the National Trust and similar preservation movements, celebrating their role in safeguarding the natural beauty, architecture, and traditions of the English countryside. Through vivid prose and atmospheric imagery, he explores stately homes, village greens, coastal paths, and ancient ruins, portraying them not as static relics but as living embodiments of national character.

Beyond its visual appeal, the book stands as an early environmental and cultural commentary—urging respect for landscape stewardship and the shared responsibility of protecting England's historical fabric. Combining aesthetic sensitivity with social conscience, it captures the interwar sentiment of nostalgia for an older England and the hope that civic action could preserve it for future generations. This volume would strongly appeal to admirers of British heritage, landscape photography, and the history of conservation movements in the early twentieth century."
