Erdigg House: The Gardens
The gardens at Erdigg were constructed in the early 1700s, in the formal style prevalent at the time, before the influence of Culpability Brown. The Yorkes included not a few antiquarians and somehow maintained the older regime through the Georgian and Victorian eras. By the time the gardens came to the National Trust, they were a mess, but ample historical documentation permitted a brilliant reconstruction, and what one sees today is very much like the original plan.

Love the sweet pea!
I am still amazed that people actually lived in houses like these.
