Parks and gardens of Britain : a landscape history from the air / Christopher Taylor.

Edinburgh : Edinburgh University Press, ©1998.

vii, 224 pages : illustrations ; 25 cm

This seminal study, from one of Britains most eminent landscape historians, takes a chronological tour through British parks and gardens since Roman times. Each chapter introduces the characteristic features of parks and gardens in each period and explores the social and economic context for their construction. Chris Taylor then provides a detailed explanation of specific sites and draws on 100 arial photographs to illustrate a new and different perspective of Britains cherished parks and gardens.
