Croome Park.
The original Chinese Bridge, designed by William Halfpenny in the 1740s was lost to rot and ruin by the mid-19th Century. The National Trust as part of a 20 year restoration project of Croome Park, Capability Brown's first commission, were looking to reconstruct the bridge as it was one of the only elements he retained in his design from the existing park.
The works at Croome Landscape Park comprised of: damming the river to create a dry work area; de-watering and relocation of fish; creation of an access roadway and footpath; construction of abutment foundations, bridge piers and abutment walls; installation of drainage; temporary works; assisting with bridge construction and the re-instatement of the site following completion.
Capability Brown was a was a well known English gardener and landscape architect (born 1716 died1783 )He worked on many of the parks of well known English country house
Chatsworth House est un vaste château situé dans le Derbyshire, en Angleterre, à quelques kilomètres de la ville de Bakewell. Édifié originellement au xvie siècle pour Bess of Hardwick, comtesse de Shrewsbury, Chatsworth est le fief des ducs de Devonshire, dont le patronyme est Cavendish. Le domaine se trouve sur la rive gauche de la rivière Derwent et dans les limites du Parc national du Peak District.
En 1687, l'architecte William Talman reconstruisit le château dans un esprit baroque et en fit la première des country houses d'Angleterre. Au xviiie siècle, le parc fut redessiné dans le goût néoclassique par le paysagiste Capability Brown et agrémenté de fabriques par l'architecte James Paine.
Le château, ouvert au public, contient d'importantes collections de mobilier et d'objets d'art ainsi que des toiles de maître, dont la première version des Bergers d'Arcadie de Nicolas Poussin.

Kirkharle Hall was a country house at Kirkharle, the former seat of the Loraine family, now much reduced and in use as a farmhouse. The estate church is dedicated to St Wilfrid (634-709AD) and is Grade 1 listed, with most of the building dating from 1336.
Kirkharle's most famous son is Capability Brown, the notable landscape gardener.
Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown (bapt.1716 -1783) was born in Kirkharle and baptised in St Wilfrid's Church, Kirkharle, on 30 August 1716. His actual birthdate is not known. He was the fifth of the six children of William Brown, a yeoman farmer and Ursula, née Hall, who had also worked in the big house on the Kirkharle estate.[11]
Lancelot attended the village school in nearby Cambo until the age of 16. In 1732, the young Brown began work at the Kirkharle estate, learning many skills in gardening, planting and land reclamation, leaving to further his career in 1739.[11]
Sir William Loraine, 4th Baronet, inherited the estate in 1755 aged 6 and when he came of age, Brown produced a design plan for him to replace the early 18th century formal gardens with a more naturalistic landscape, probably around 1770.[10] Brown's scheme included single trees, tree belts, a serpentine lake and a new approach, but was only partially implemented. The lake was not created, only part of the semi-circular approach was laid out, and the walled garden may not have been built.

Created in the style of Capability Brown, that great designer, whose forte was creating “natural” landscapes, the park has broad vistas of parkland, bounded by extensive plantings of a variety of deciduous trees, including redwoods, sycamore, cherry, yew and plane. Coppices of beech, oak, chestnuts and lime dot the open parkland.
Water is an important element in the creation of such settings and the estate was fortunate in that the Awbeg River flowed through it and was diverted to form lakes, cascades and ponds, greatly enhancing the beauty of the setting. And, of course, where you have waterways, you must have bridges and there are a few delightful arched stone bridges framed by abundant foliage

Compton Verney is an award-winning art gallery located in a beautiful 18th century Grade I listed mansion built by Robert Adam. The house is set in over 120 acres of landscaped grounds designed by Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown. There was a manor at Compton Verney at least as early as 1150.
Sheffield Park Garden is an informal landscape garden five miles east of Haywards Heath, in East Sussex, England. It was originally laid out in the 18th century by Capability Brown, and further developed in the early years of the 20th century by its then owner, Arthur Gilstrap Soames. It is now owned by the National Trust.
The gardens originally formed part of the estate of the adjacent Sheffield Park House, a gothic country house, which is still in private ownership. It was also firstly owned by the West Family and later by the Soames family until in 1925 the estate was sold by Arthur Granville Soames, who had inherited it from his childless uncle, Arthur Gilstrap Soames.
Sheffield Park as an estate is mentioned in the Domesday Book. In August 1538, Thomas Howard, 3rd Duke of Norfolk, entertained Henry VIII here. By 1700, the Deer Park had been partially formalised by Lord De La Warr who planted avenues of trees radiating from the house and cleared areas to establish lawns. In the late 1700s, James Wyatt remodelled the house in the fashionable Gothic style and Capability Brown was commissioned to landscape the garden. The original four lakes form the centrepiece. Humphry Repton followed Brown in 1789–1790. In 1796, the estate was sold to John Holroyd, created Baron Sheffield in 1781. It is particularly noted for its plantings of trees selected for autumn colour, including many Black Tupelos.
By 1885, an arboretum was being established, consisting of both exotic and native trees. After Arthur Gilstrap Soames purchased the estate in 1910, he continued large-scale planting. During World War II the house and garden became the headquarters for a Canadian armoured division, and Nissen huts were sited in the garden and woods. The estate was split up and sold in lots in 1953. The National Trust purchased approximately 40 ha in 1954, now up to 80 ha with subsequent additions. It is home to the National Collection of Ghent azaleas.
In 1876 the third Earl of Sheffield laid out a cricket pitch. It was used on 12 May 1884 for the first cricket match between England and Australia. The Australian team won by an innings and 6 runs.

One of Brown’s major achievements at North Cray was the reshaping of the River Cray to create a ribbon-like lake. He designed the Five Arch Bridge, which was mainly brick and included a weir on its north side. Other Brown bridges at Temple Newsam, Yorkshire and Compton Verney, Warwickshire, were built in stone and more elegant in their design. It is thought that Coventry, who was described by writer and essayist Charles Lamb as “a hoarder rather than a miser”, was keeping a close eye on the budget here.
Brown would have needed all his skills and experience in earth-moving and drainage at North Cray. The Cray is a chalk river with wide, shallow sections of gravel. To create a watertight lining Brown probably used a mixture of wet clay and sand or puddling clay. He may also have been dealing with low water levels here as a result of work at the Foots Cray estate, on the other side of the river. The bridge, weir and two islands gave the lake an unusual 'neck', which looked elegant and maintained the water level.
After putting up an experimental version from the same morning, I thought I would go a bit more traditional with this one.

The Silver Birch trees frame the Loggia and the arches of the Loggia frame the gardens. Capability Brown (1716 - 1788) knew a thing or two about designing and framing!

Capability Brown, John Constable und William Turner ... !!!
Diese Räume durchschritt William Turner (1775 - 1851) und ließ sich von dem wunderschönen "Arkadien" vor den Fenstern inspirieren.

Bauwerke von außerordentlicher, teilweise internationaler Bedeutung. (englisch Grade I buildings are of exceptional interest, sometimes considered to be internationally important.)
Die Ursprünge von Petworth House reichen bis ins 12. Jahrhundert zurück.
George Wyndham, 3. Earl of Egremont, ließ von 1774 bis 1779 von Matthew Brettingham dem Jüngeren den State Bedroom zur White Library umbauen. Unter ihm erlebte Petworth ein "goldenes Zeitalter".
Der 3. Earl of Egremont war ein großzügiger Mäzen, unter anderem von John Constable (1776 - 1837) und William Turner.
Zur damaligen Zeit gab es keine Museen im heutigen Sinne und die Künstler waren darauf angewiesen, die anderen Malergrößen in Privatsammlungen zu studieren.
Turner malte zwischen 1827 und 1837 zwanzig Ölgemälde und rund 100 Aquarelle in Petworth, darunter Motive aus dem Park und der Innenausstattung.
Für seine wachsende Kunstsammlung ließ der 3. Earl of Egremont die North Gallery von 1824 bis 1827 erneut erweitern und umbauen.
Hinter dem Herrenhaus beginnt ein insgesamt 294 ha großer Park. Ein erster kleiner Park wird im 13. Jahrhundert erwähnt, zur Zeit des 9. Earls of Northumberland umfasste der Park bereits über 160 ha.
Der um 1700 von George London angelegte Barockgarten wurde von 1751 bis 1765 von Capability Brown in einen Englischen Garten umgewandelt.
Der Park gilt als einer der gelungensten Landschaftsgärten von Capability Brown.
Brown gilt als einer der bedeutendsten Landschaftsarchitekten des 18. Jahrhunderts. Seine eifrigen Bemühungen im Finden von Möglichkeiten (eng. „capabilities“) zur Umgestaltung vorhandener alter Gartenanlagen im neuen von ihm vertretenen Stil verhalfen ihm zu seinem Beinamen Capability Brown.
In seiner Schaffenszeit war er an über 170 Gartenbauprojekten beteiligt und er hatte maßgeblichen Einfluss auf die Entwicklung der Parks im englischen Stil.
Brown (1716 - 1783) war ein Vorreiter des Landschaftsbaus. Seine Gartenwerke gehören zu den ersten, die nicht allein die unmittelbare Umgebung miteinbezogen, sondern weitflächig die umgebende Landschaft integrierten und mitgestalteten, er vollzog den Übergang von der reinen Schlossparkarchitektur zur großflächigen Landschaftsgestaltung.
Er benutzte dazu die von William Kent entwickelte Technik der „clumps and dots“, bei der auf dem weitläufigen Gelände durch einzelne Bäume (dots) und Baumgruppen (clumps) ein natürlich malerischer Eindruck erzeugt wird.
Riesige Rasenflächen, die von Viehherden niedrig gehalten werden mussten, waren ebenso auszeichnend für sein Werk.
Um die Tiere von dem unmittelbaren Landgut fernzuhalten, nutzte er eine als Ha-Ha bekannte Grabenkonstruktion.

The beautiful Coach House next to Compton Verney was built to designs by James Gibbs in 1736-43 and converted for residential use in 1984.
Compton Verney in Warwickshire is an award-winning art gallery located in a beautiful 18th century Grade I listed mansion built by Robert Adam. The house is set in over 120 acres of landscaped grounds designed by Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown. There was a manor at Compton Verney at least as early as 1150.
As you enter Croome Court, the pathway takes you past the manor's church, St Mary Magdalene. This Grade I listed building was built in 1763 by Capability Brown for the Earl of Coventry. A medieval church nearer the Court was demolished to make way for this church, the interior of which was designed by Robert Adam.
Inside the church members of the the family are intered with very ornate memorials.

The ruins of Roche Abbey (by Maltby Beck), a ruined Cisterian monastery situated near Maltby, in South Yorkshire. The abbey is at the Northern edge of what was once Sherwood forest, and Robin Hood is said to have taken mass there regularly.
Like most other abbeys, it was dissolved by Henry VIII in 1538, following which the local community despoiled it for timber, stone and lead, as well as the property within. The remains were left to fall to ruin, and the land came into the hands of the Earl of Scarboouh, who emplyed the famous landscape gardener Capability Brown who buried much of it under turf in the late 1700s. There it remained for two centuries until excavated in the 1920s, and is now cared for by English Heritage.

First thing about Primfeed is that you can not use a selected name, you have to use your original SL name so I am under Kayla Woodrunner there, darn it.
I've been on primfeed for about two months now. It's a lot like facebook but only for SL folks and a bit more x-rated if you want it to be. You can set your account to G if you don't want it to be.
I like the gallery section because you can choose whether you want to look at G, M, A, or A+. Also you can choose whether to look at only Residents and not include commercial. You can also choose to look at or not look at AI altered SL pics.
Note on the gallery: you can choose to show any picture you want under your account but you can only put in SL pictures in the gallery. AI pictures that is not obviously SL-based will be taken out. RL pics will be taken out. They really want the gallery
It's new enough that conversations start with new people more often than facebook on your own pictures. And also since I like to find new places to explore, if I choose G for general, Residents and no AI, then the gallery shows me what's left which means a higher number of landscapes so I can find new places and photographers. I also like clicking the no AI when I'm looking at creator ads.
The biggest minus is it's new so it doesn't have group capability.
There also seems to be a high ration of A and A+ pictures if you're into that probably because they have a hard time showing those pics on other social networks.
And if you're into shopping and looking for something new, click commercial on the gallery and you'll see a lot of creators strutting their stuff. Only creators can mark their ads as commercial. So I think bloggers showing their pics under their own name are counted as Residents pictures.
If you decide to give it a whirl, you can find me under Kayla Woodrunner

Note: if you're debating whether or not to do it. One of my friends on Primfeed, after she started her Primfeed account so some of her friends had already found her there, had her account shut down by flickr without warning. Which means she couldn't access her pics suddenly except for the ones she had also posted to Primfeed. Also not so long Snapzilla disappeared without warning taking thousands of pictures with them. Winter was pissed because that was 15 years of history for him and some of those pictures were nowhere else. Machinima.com was bought out and the new owners closed the site so suddenly people lost all their videos. So. I am beginning to think it's necessary to post pictures and videos into more than one social network -- whether it's Flickr and Facebook; Instagram and Tiktok, or Flickr and Primfeed, whatever combination to have a backup place where your stuff is. Because we trust these places and they can be trustworthy for decades but suddenly change for whatever reason and are gone or shut down accounts without warning. It's a pain in the ..... especially if some of those images/videos capture our memories.
