It's not all Brown & White

In celebration of the 300^th anniversary of England’s greatest gardener, Lancelot Capability Brown, this exhibition explores the ‘improvements’ Brown carried out at Burton Constable, one of the best-documented examples of Brown’s work at a country house estate, along with other gardening innovations taking place under the patronage of William Constable (1721-91).

Original landscape proposals, plans and drawings will be displayed alongside the remarkable Mr. Brown’s Directions – a unique series of minutes recorded during each of Brown’s eight visits to Burton Constable between 1772 and 1782 that provide a rare and wonderful insight into how the man himself executed his grand schemes.

Situated in the Muniment Room at the end of your free-flow visit, entry to this exhibition is included in the normal hall admission.
