This thorough and illuminating history...is a welcome addition to the history of the English landscape garden. COUNTRY LIFE

[A] uniquely complete and beautiful book...The book is produced to the very high standards which we expect of Boydell. NORTHERN HISTORY A fascinating story, not only of a garden and the historical events that affected its development, but of the people who created it. It is also a beautifully produced book - thoughtfully laid out in manageable chapters that take you through the history of this World Heritage site..Anyone interested in garden history will not be disappointed. ENGLISH GARDEN This is a sumptuous volume that does justice to a place whose splendour has been acknowledged by its designation as a World Heritage Site.
