The Essay question i have chosen is number 2. I considered the first question to be too difficult in terms of obtaining resources as it seems to require a trip to a national museum that would only be located in a major city such as London to find them and i don't have the time or the confidence to embark on a long trip.
Therefore, i felt that either question 2 or 3 were most appropriate for me after a fairly long time contemplating, i chose question 2 due to my interest in the changes of The National Trust outweighing my interest in how heritage has been made more appealing to a wider public by a constitution.

To summarise question 2, i conceive it as a request for me to convey and challenge how The National Trust has changed since 1994 regarding its outlook on what defines English heritage. For example, a keyword from Theatres of Memory by Raphael Samuel is "country house" which is a grand, expensive, rural-situated type of building and i think that the question is asking me to find out if The National Trust has acquired more than just these stereotypical examples of England. Has it judged what to acquire more on the national prominence of an ex- inhabitant or the significance of a site in relation to English history. I think the word "Englishness" is defined by the Theatres of Memory book as being the stereotypical associations with England. These would be rolling dark green hills, neat gardens, massive lawns, stoney paths and huge luxurious mansions and country houses. So i have to research and identify if The National Trust have expanded on this English ideology.
I am unsure about the second key term, "ordinary people". My assumption is that it's referring to the sector of the public that is of lower economic status. Therefore, the people who are unable to relate to the expensive grandeur of country houses. Perhaps, what these people would prefer to find out more about is a place or a place with a connection to a person closer to home. For example, the childhood home of John Lennon - member of the popular English rock band The Beatles - and who was famously regarded as a "working class hero" to so many. Maybe these classified people would prefer The National Trust to help preserve this as it is the home of somebody who has helped shape culture today.

What i am planning to do?
For this question, i am planning to order the book that included the key terms; "Englishness" and "ordinary people".  By doing this i can comprehend the whole question better and i can look at other books with Raphael Samuel's definitions in mind and see how they relate to his ideas. I will also obtain resources that look at the history of The National Trust, ideally starting from the early 1990's to the present day. There is also a good new book which i am planning to get called Houses of The National Trust by Lydia Greeves. By looking inside it, i have discovered that the book is dedicated towards old thatched cottages and large grand country houses which shows that maybe not alot has changed from their outlook on what is heritage from 1994.
The National Trust heritage site i am particularly focusing on is the childhood homes of John Lennon and Paul McCartney in Liverpool as i believe these are great examples of a change from The National Trust because they are ordinary council houses located in a typical city suburban street in England. There's nothing outstanding with the designs of the houses, but rather they have recently been chose to be preserved due to the prominence of the people who lived there.
