The fully illustrated article by Gareth Slater traces the history and use of the historic parkland at a time when the future of Lydiard House and Park was in jeopardy of outsourcing to the private commercial sector by Swindon Borough Council.

The article appeared in The Wiltshire Garden's Trust Journal no 75 in Spring 2017 and includes Gareth Slater's hand drawn plan of the parkland surrounding Lydiard House.
