Description

Wanstead and its Park by Richard Arnopp is a new edition of an Edwardian classic that offers a fascinating introduction to one of England's lost treasures - a great Palladian house and its famous landscaped gardens. The book tells the story of the remarkable people who owned the Wanstead estate, and the extravagance and folly which brought about its destruction. The story concludes with the Corporation of London's rescue of the park's core, preserving its lakes and woods as a public open space. This edition also includes a newly-researched account of the author's life, along with comprehensive notes on his text, making it a valuable resource for local history and garden history enthusiasts.
