Signs of Ageing

Painshill Park is in Cobham in Surrey and was created by Charles Hamilton between 1738 and 1773. Hamilton used follies to compliment the landscape and regarded it akin to painting a living picture; he led guests on tours around his estate. Sadly he ran out of money and sold his estate in 1773. After a sucession of owners, in 1948, the then owner split the land in to smaller lots and the park fell into disrepair. The park was rescued in 1981 when a new trust was setup to restore, maintain, and open the park to the public.
