Clumps & Concrete: 300 years of Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown

Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown is one of the greatest and most important figures in the history of landscape gardening. His English designs are epitomised in the beauty of places such as Stowe or Blenheim Palace. 2016 is the 300th anniversary of Capability Brown and, to mark this, Dr Oliver Cox will explain how these evocative vistas were created and how eighteenth-century landscape design has inspired post-war reconstruction. This will be the principle London event in a year of worldwide festivities.
