Warbrook House, Eversley - Hart

Seminal in garden history terms, Warbrook was designed c1724 by the architect John James whose home it was, using formal geometric principles and new features he translated for publication from Dezallier d'Argenville. Formal axes extended beyond the park but have now fragmented and the integrity of parkland features is damaged. Conversion to a hotel and spa created pressures for change in the park and gardens. Aerial investigation by Historic England provided evidence for a Parkland Plan and potential restoration needs with land management options are being discussed.
