  • Notes from the Unpublished Papers of Dorothy Stroud
    A list of landscapes that have been attributed to ‘Capability’ Brown This list, now in its fifth edition(16th December, 2016), has been compiled by John Phibbs from the work of others, primarily Dorothy Stroud, but also David Brown, Karen Lynch, Nick Owen, Susanne Seymour, Roger Turner, Peter Willis, and, in particular, my collaborator, Steffie Shields, who has checked and added to its drafts. The lists have also been shown to and commented on by the County Gardens Trusts. Great credit is due to all parties for their help. The list of attributions to Brown has elicited a good deal of correspondence for which I am very grateful, and among many others, thanks are due to Don Josey, Surrey Gardens Trust; Terence Reeves-Smyth and Patrick Bowe from Ireland; S.V.Gregory, Staffordshire Gardens Trust; Joanna Matthews, Oxfordshire Gardens Trust; Christine Hodgetts, Warwickshire Gardens Trust; the Dorset Gardens Trust; Kate Harwood, Hertfordshire Gardens Trust; Val Bott, Susan Darling and Barbara Deason, London Parks & Gardens Trust; Janice Bennetts, Wendy Bishop, Michael Cousins, Dr Patrick Eyres, Jane Furze, Tony Matthews, Jenifer White and Min Wood. Many correspondents have written with material about what Brown might have done at various places. I have to emphasise that the attributions list attempts to include all the places where he might have offered advice. It asks neither whether that advice was acted on, nor whether he was paid. The determination of what might have been done at any of these places is a distinct process and will always be open to question. The aim of this list is to assess the likelihood of each and all of the attributions that have been made to Brown.

    36-63 Croome Park 21/1/04 12:11 pm Page 36 CROOME PARK Discovering Concealed Capabilities Cue Chris Beardshaw on the skyline recording a piece to camera. ‘This must be the most visited garden in the world: every year thirty-six million of us pass right through the very heart of it, but we don’t realize it’s there,’ he says. The camera pans away and shows a less than horticultural setting: a bridge over a motorway. The background white noise of traffic becomes clearer. ‘In the 1960s the M5 was driven right through here, slicing in two one of our most important landscapes. This is Croome Park.’ Strangers to their surroundings, the unknowing garden visitors are driving along the M5, between junctions 7 and 8, where it joins the M50. The motorway cuts right down through the western edge of the park, usurping its beautiful borrowed landscape of the Malvern Hills on the western horizon. Apart from the motorway, Croome Park is one of those most English of English landscapes. It is the earliest creation of that eighteenth-century genius Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown in a career in that changed the face of much of the country. As your eye caresses its familiar, easy contours, pastoral images escape their chocolate-box clichés and come alive. You might even hear in your mind or from the television the soaring orchestral strings of essentially English music. This is Elgar country. The Severn valley. The heart of England. You could almost say that the heart of England cliché was coined here 250 years ago, when a young jobbing architect created an epitome of the river Severn at the command of an ambitious young landowner.

    GOODWOOD HOUSE 2010 The Goodwood House Party Summer Exhibition: 7 th June – 27 th September THE GOODWOOD HOUSE PARTY Over the last three hundred years, Goodwood has played host to many famous people, including members of the Royal family. The Prince of Wales, later Edward VII, first visited Goodwood in the early 1860s, and thereafter was a frequent guest in the summer for Raceweek. Other guests included his wife, Princess Alexandra, his mistress, the Hon. Mrs George Keppel and his son, the future George V. As the front door was opened to welcome these guests, it was as if a live performance begun that became known as the country house party. Everyone knew their role from the Duke of Richmond to the scullery maid and it was against the magnificent backdrop of Goodwood that the house party took place. Goodwood House, circa 1905, photographed when Edward VII was staying. The King’s flag, recently discovered in the attic, is flying. Some guests stayed for a long weekend while others, often traditionally the last fixture in the English social ‘season’.

I remain deeply in debt to the inspiration and mentorship of David Spring. Preface In this list cadet, associated, and stem families are arranged in a single entry when substantial property passed between one and the other providing continuity of parliamentary representation (even, as was the case in a few instances, when no blood or marriage relationship existed). Subsidiary/cadet families are usually grouped under the oldest, richest, or most influential stem family. Female MPs are counted with their birth families, or, if not born into a parliamentary family, with their husband’s family.
