Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: The North East Tower of Osterley House from the Pleasure Grounds The brown building on the left is park of the old stable block.
In 1761, the Child family, founders of Child's Bank commissioned the fashionable architect Robert Adam to transform the neglected Tudor mansion at Osterley into an elegant neo-classical villa. Mrs Sarah Child was an innovative garden designer, and in the late 18th century created a garden to match the splendour of the House. The 18th century garden at Osterley is currently undergoing a major restoration which will return it to its former glory. Highlights include the Pleasure Grounds, a formal flower garden, wild flower meadow and several garden buildings including a Robert Adam designed Garden House stocked with orange and lemon trees. In late April / May there is a stunning display of bluebells. Within the 350 acres park and farmland there are lakes, meadows and many fine trees. |
