Item: THE COUNTRYMAN - Vol LIII No.4 Winter 1956
Softback book (18.5cm x 12.5cm) published Winter 1956.
Content: This is Vol LIII No.4 Winter 1956 edition of The Countryman.
The Countryman is one of the oldest, most respected countryside magazines in the world. The Countryman was launched in 1927 by J W Robertson Scott, a respected journalist and writer on rural affairs in Britain and abroad. He was concerned about the changes mechanisation was bringing to farming and the life of the countryside and wanted a forum in which ideas about "rural improvement" could be discussed.
The magazine was an immediate success and attracted articles from some of the best writers of the day, including G K Chesterton, Hugh Walpole and George Bernard Shaw, and from top politicians, including several prime ministers.
Robertson Scott, whose work was recognised by his being made a Companion of Honour, produced Countryman from his Manor House in Idbury on the edge of the Cotswolds. When he retired in 1949, it moved to Sheep Street, Burford in Oxfordshire where it remained - except for a short spell being produced in London - until spring 2003, when it moved to the Country Publications offices at Broughton Hall, near Skipton, North Yorkshire.
