| Here is my reply from the National Trust, received today. Thank you for your email regarding Cherhill Down which has been passed to me by Margaret Cornick for reply. I was sorry to hear that your membership to the National Trust was cancelled when you discovered the Trust had accepted money from channel 4 to use Uffington White Horse. Regarding the White Horse on Cherhill Down I can confirm that the National Trust does not own this - however, the Parish Council of Cherhill own and maintain it. Most of the surrounding downland is owned and cared for by the National Trust and this is a rather wild and beautiful place which we would not wish to see transformed by commercial activities. The Trust recognises that the cost of caring for the White Horse has been born by the Parish Council, which has recently carried out major restoration work. We fully understand the Parish's need to seek the funds it requires, and support it's decision to allow a very temporary 'stunt' to change the appearance of the Horse without physical damage. I would like to thank you for taking the time to write to us regarding this issue and please note that your comments have been noted.
