Description: | These gardens make up part of the estate belonging to Ralph Allen, who between 1735 and 1750 built a Palladian style villa here. The house lies on a hillside with grounds sloping down to the nearby village of Widcombe. The gardens were landscaped by Capability Brown and Alexander Pope and contained several ornamental features to impress visitors - such as a Palladian Bridge and a castle folly. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Grimm, Samuel Hieronymus | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
