Croome Court

On Saturday, I visited Croome Court with my Mum for my Lawnmower Typography project.

This is because I have been researching Capability Brown and how he influenced the English Landscape Garden.

I went to see if I could find the 8 elements of Brown's work. Croome has 7. However, we didn't manage to find many of them as it was a cold, rainy and very windy day. And the grounds were huge, so we didn't get to look round much of it. I also didn't want to get my camera wet.

However, here are some of the photos I did manage to take, and wanted to share on the blog.

I really enjoyed the day and exploring the house and gardens. I feel I learnt a lot more about Brown's style of design and even got to see a monument dedicated to him in the gardens.

I am planning to use some of these images in my final product, however if not it was nice to go just to research Brown.
