• Resumen

  • More than twenty years after Christopher Hussey complained of the state of the grounds at Stowe, this most significant of eighteenth-century estates has at last come into the hands of the National Trust. Before the work there is complete, doubtless there will be further arguments over the period to which the gardens should be restored. Their transfer from the school to the wellfunded and sympathetic care of the Trust, however, must be particularly gratifying to George Clarke, who has laboured long and hard in the cause of their conservation and documentation.
