Canons Ashby
National Trust Canons Ashby, Northamptionshire
inHeritage/Hammer Design were commissioned by the National Trust East Midlands Region to create new interpretation for the deer park, gardens, Apple Store, Pump Room and St. Mary’s Church at Canons Ashby. Part of the project brief was to use the Apple Store to interpret the ongoing garden renovation. The target audiences were adult and family visitors to the property including those wishing to walk around the deer park. We installed a new welcome panel at the visitor car park and a series of highly visual graphic panel displays in the Apple Store, Pump Room and St. Mary’s Church. These were split in a horizontal fashion to communicate the same key messages to adults and children. We created two versions of a self-guided heritage and wildlife trail, one designed for adults and one for children, that linked all parts of the estate and covered the whole of the deer park.
