Welcome to Country Squire Magazine, Dear Reader.
Our Magazine’s web version launched at the start of November 2016 amidst great fanfare. Rural dwellers across these sceptred isles raised a glass. Then traffic to the Magazine boomed, for which we are eternally grateful. Our quarterly print edition launched in December 2022 – You can subscribe to it here.
Unlike our more established rivals, popping corks at the metropolitan offices of The Field, Countryfile Magazine or Country Life, we do not intend to create a vision of the rural idyll for wealthy townsfolk to coo over. The problem for actual countryside dwellers is that these publications tend to be looking at the countryside from suburbia or the city. They fail to see the world from the actual countryside perspective.
Official figures show that the UK rural population will increase by 6 per cent over the next decade as people choose to leave cities and settle in the countryside. The most recent census found that over ten million people live in rural areas in the UK.
Where is the magazine for them?
We at Country Squire Magazine hope to reflect the vision, the dreams and the narrative of those who have already chosen green fields over high rises, narrow lanes over the fast lane. This is Your new platform which we hope will inform, inspire and entertain You for years to come. Country Squire Magazine has a simple mission statement: to be an online publication which provides a platform for voices from the overlooked Great British Countryside. We hope to live up to that mission. We hope to be a beacon for Truth in a world where moral relativists often have the loudest voices.
We believe Freedom lies in being bold and have always punched above our weight. We’ve published a vast spectrum of articles in the past, from Conservative MPs to Peter Tatchell, from Trans activists to the Head of BASC. Our writers scribe for better known magazines and newspapers but keep coming back to the Squires because they know that at Country Squire Magazine they are free to write how they want – free to express themselves in a world that sometimes seems less free.
Country Squire Magazine online houses a collection of interesting regular writers from myriad walks of life. There’s the country solicitor, the entrepreneur, the LGBTQ spokesperson, a newspaper journalist, a Westminster insider, a retired politician and a vicar. CSM aims to always provide a broad and eclectic mix of content which You the Reader will hopefully enjoy, share and perhaps spread across social media.
We do not wish to compete with the Sunday newspapers – we are a humble minnow compared to them. Instead we have decided to keep Sundays as a day of rest. So we shall not be posting articles on Sundays or on the big Christian feast days like Easter and Christmas. On Sundays, our Vicar will post something prayerful (no preaching). If you’d rather not read it, feel free to catch up on the myriad of other articles published during the week.
To quash any complaints about elitism or sexism in the Magazine’s title, Country Squire Magazine is for all – we really mean that. There is certainly no sexism or elitism to be found here. Likewise, as some have pointed out, we occasionally run pieces from hunters. We’d love to hear from anti-hunt people but all we seem to get from them is abuse and threats rather than articles we would welcome and publish. To call us a hunting magazine is lazy and untrue.
Country Squire Magazine is an independently-run website. CSM has no ties to existing media groups and is a stand-alone enterprise. Its writers come from all across the globe and the site is hosted from outside of the UK.
