Description

None of this set of drawings are dated but the 'Plan of the Garden' is identical to one made in the 1880s for the Marquess of Bute. The Marquess was a tenant at the house from 1881 - 1892 and the plan includes some changes made by him and reversed in 1950. This and the style of the drawings suggests they may date from the late nineteenth century although they could be as late as 1950, but no earlier than 1881.
