Garden and landscape historian Richard Wheeler explores Sir John Vanbrugh’s influence on the early development of Stowe’s landscape gardens and the legacy of his ideas.
Although little now survives of Vanbrugh’s original scheme at Stowe beyond the main garden axes, the thinking behind his design helped shape the landscape that followed. Later architects and garden designers adapted and expanded the gardens over time, adding their own buildings and monuments while working within the framework Vanbrugh had established.
