Title: Leigh Park House lake about 1860 [Go to resource]
Description: Copy of an engraving of the lake of Leigh Park house, previously owned by Sir George Staunton, a great authority on china, who purchased the state in the early 1820's and died in 1860.. It shows the whole lake, looking across from the "Lookout" on the lawn to Cottage Island. You can see the Chinese Bridge and the top of the Corinthian Bridge which Sir George had erected with many other structures, after he purchased the house and estate. In the distance you can see Bere Forest. This illustration is from a series of engravings called "Views of Leigh Park, the seat of late Sir George Thomas Staunton " held in Southampton University Library.
