Description: | This view comes from Robert Mudie. 1838. Hampshire, volume 1, opposite p. 245. Mudie put the house in the context of its landscape. The "park is very finely wooded, some of the trees are of stately growth, and they are grouped in taste. The house is of considerable dimensions; but plain and simple, and therefore well-adapted to the rich quiet of its situation."
The house dates from the mid/late eighteenth century and is by Henry Holland and Lancelot Brown.
Lord Palmerston was Foreign Minister between 1830-41. He was later to become Prime Minister. | Format: | image/jpeg | License: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.exe?a=query&p=gateway&f=generic_sitetext%2ehtm&_IXFIRST_=1&_IXMAXHITS_=1&cms_con_core_subtype%3acms_con_text_what=copyright&%3acms_sys_group=%22sopse%22 | Subjects: | building park Holland, Henry, Brown, Lancelot, Brown, Capability Broadlands Lord Palmerston house | Temporal: | start=1838-01-01; | Source: | Sense of place SE | Creator: | G F Sargent; J Woods; James Robbins; D E Gilmour | Identifier: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
