Description: | c1970.
Image shows Sir Alvary Gascoigne, in the William and Mary Garden at Lotherton Hall, with a group of children. In 1968 Sir Alvary had presented the Lotherton Hall Estate to Leeds City Council. The house and gardens were opened to the public and have since remained a popular visitor attraction. Mrs. Laura Gwendolen Gascoigne, mother of Sir Alvery, created the gardens in the Edwardian era. The William and Mary Garden was laid out in the formal, 17th Century Dutch style. There are topiary features such as clipped box spirals. Low hedges and a sunken italianate pond make up the formal design and there is stone paving and seating areas. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Lotherton Hall Gascoigne | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
