Summary of content
Proof of Evidence of Henry Moore. S-Gen. NWEEHPA 77."
Three-page personal statement typed and in spiral binding with five full-page photographs of work on the estate plus a map. The importance of the countryside to Moore his work and the activities of the Foundation and its visitors. "All my work is imbued with nature...It is perhaps not too fanciful to think that the many hundreds of my bronzes sold since 1941 have exported a bit of the peace of this corner of Hertfordshire to the many cities at home and abroad where they now stand." Visitors come "to see my work in the setting which in many cases helped to inspire it. Obviously this purpose would be defeated if the air was constantly being torn by the noise of planes taking off from Stansted". Suggests Maplin as a more logical alternative site."
