Unforgettable Gardens of Northamptonshire
A series of four online talks via Zoom
Wednesdays, 7pm from 3 to 24 November 2021
Northamptonshire Gardens Trust is sharing more of the many wonderful heritage gardens and landscapes of their county. These are Kirby Hall, the grounds of which were described as ‘ye finest garden in England’ at the end of the 17th century; the eight hectares of formal terraced gardens that remain from the 16th-century gardens and park at Holdenby House; Apethorpe Palace, which suffered serious neglect in the late 20th century but happily was the focus of a major English Heritage rescue project between 2004–2014, and finally Boughton House, home to the Duke of Buccleuch and site of the magnificent Orpheus project.
Tickets:
£5 for a single talk
£16 for all four
Free to Northamptonshire Gardens Trust members.

“Through the series of lectures and visits I learned a great deal more about the man (Lancelot Capability Brown) and his ideals and in turn this gave me a greater understanding and appreciation of the history behind what we take for granted, as the ‘English’ landscape." Gwen
