Unforgettable Gardens: Charlcote

Eduard Krakhnalnokov presents a talk for Gardens Trust on Charlecote House, New Perspectives on an Ancient Garden.
Charlecote Park, near Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, is an ancient place with a deep history. This talk will review different stages of the park and garden’s long past. Culminating in large-scale Victorian alterations and, later, restorations and interpretations by the National Trust, the landscape garden was also one of Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown’s lesser-known projects. The exploration of Charlecote as one of Brown’s early works places the park at the centre of his formative, early years and suggests key social connections. At Charlecote, and other similar projects where Brown accumulated a web of associations and partnerships, the landscape garden style, which soon spread across the country, first flowered. The talk ranges over 1,000 years. Beginning with Medieval history, the presentation moves to Elizabethan-era enclosures and describes an impressive water garden before moving to the remnants of Brown’s work that can still be found within a largely, though not wholly, Victorian garden. Charlecote Park is revealed to be a kaleidoscopic mixture of various styles and times, all coming together into what you see today.

Time: 18:00 GMT
