Miss Margaret E Knight bought Sheepscombe Meadow in the 1920s to save it from development and gave it to the Guild. The Meadow, on the edge of the village of Sheepscombe in Gloucestershire, has an extraordinarily rich habitat including 20 species of butterfly. The small Blue butterfly can be found there and the unusual Burnet Moth. It is a limestone grassland containing a great variety of herbs and grasses largely because for so long it has lain 'unimproved' and has been only lightly grazed for a part of each year. The Meadow is leased to Natural England. You can download their leaflet about the area HERE. Find out more about the history of the meadow from the book by Stuart Eagles, which can be purchased from our bookshop HERE.
