ENGLAND’S LANDED GENTRY.
BOUSES RAZED; ESTATES CUT UP. By Telegraph.—PrtM Amr —Copyright London, Dec. 31. The Times publishes figures showing the effect of the post-war conditions of the landed gentry in England. The land undoubtedly is changing hands Old estates, totalling £33,500,0000 in value, were sold in 1920 and mostly broken up. Comparatively few persons are able or inclined to carry on hereditary estates according to tradition in these difficult days, therefore many great estates, dating from feudal times, are fast disappearing. Timber in famous parks has been felled; some mansions have been demolished and sold as old material, others have been converted into schools and hotels; lands have been divided for modern bungalows and small farms.—Times.
