Cottesbrooke Hall 
and Gardens

Cottesbrooke is frequently attributed as the pattern for Jane Austen's 'Mansfield Park'. The remarkable 18th century landscaping of the Park, its vistas and lakes, are by an unknown hand - much has recently been restored.
The formal and wild gardens  surrounding and adjacent to the house have however been mainly developed during the present century - these developments have continued to the present day. A number of distinguished landscape designers have been involved ~ Robert Weir Schultz, the late Sir Geoffrey Jellicoe and the late Dame Sylvia Crowe. The main inspiration came from the late Hon. Lady Macdonald~Buchanan.
Sir Geoffrey Jellicoe designed the formal garden with yew trees and statues to the rear of the house.
