Publisher's Synopsis
Discover the final 'Capability' Brown landscape, a stunning Neo-classical hall, and the stories of the three families who called Berrington Hall their home. Looking out over a landscape that has remained relatively unchanged for 200 years, this Georgian mansion is one of contrasts. Austere red sandstone on the outside conceals delicate Neo-classical interiors by Henry Holland. Above are elegant family spaces, while the space below is practical, an area once bustling with servants. All set among the spectacular landscape designed by 'Capability' Brown, from his gently meandering lake to his unique design of walled garden. This guidebook reveals the story behind the creation of these masterpieces and of the three families who lived here, the Harleys, Rodneys, and Cawleys.
