    Melbourne Hall Garden

Gardenvisit Editorial

Melbourne Hall has the best surviving example of the work of London and Wise. It represents the French style in England. One might call it High Baroque. It was not a seat of power in the eighteenth century but Lord Melbourne was prime minister when Queen Victoria came to power in 1837. It has a parterre, avenues, basins, lead statuary, an excellent wrought iron arbour and a yew tunnel. Christopher Hussey analysed the design in his book on English Gardens and Landscapes 1700-1750.
