NOTES: The garden was created from 1726 by Lord Burlington and William Kent, who were both inspired by the sights of the Grand Tour. It was conceived as a single, living artwork and is one of the best surviving early examples of the English Landscape School. This semi-circular garden, bordered with evergreens, with geometric flower beds cut in grass, was designed by Lewis Kennedy and laid out in 1812
