Description: | Burnell Park was a deer-hunting ground, developed as a landscaped park in the 18th century. Its features included a walled garden, two artificial lakes and an early-19th century grotto. At the edge of the picture can just be seen Acton Burnell Castle, the fortified home of Robert Burnell, Lord Chancellor to Edward I and Bishop of Bath and Wells. He obtained a licence to crenellate his family home in 1284, and the result was this house edged with four defensive towers and an embattled roof. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Publisher: | Edward Orme, His Majesty's Printseller | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
