Quick facts

Ralph Allen oversaw the house and garden from 1734 until his death in 1764, with the poet Alexander Pope advising on the layout.

Its Palladian bridge is one of only four of this design left in the world.

Capability Brown worked on the grounds in the 1750s and 1760s, and the National Trust opened the garden in 1996.
