DR1985:0415
Description:
- DR1985:0415 presents a cartographic survey of Wimbledon Park as "improved" in the second half of the eighteenth century. Covering some 1,200 acres, the park as shown in this plan contains all the elements of Capability Brown's mature landscape style: expanses of grass traversed by meandering paths, irregular plantings of trees placed singly and in clumps, and winding streams dammed to create a large, irregular lake near the centre of the property and several small ponds about the periphery. The main house (built 1732-33 for Sarah, the Duchess of Marlborough), its outbuildings, and the village church are shown at the southern end of the park, as is a kitchen garden dating from an earlier period. Roads, lanes, and neighbouring properties are neatly labelled in the draughtsman's hand, and the fall of the land has been indicated in shade lines.

DR1985:0416
Description:
- DR1985:0416 records, in the form of a measured survey, the state of Blenheim Park in 1763, i.e., immediately before the modifications made by Capability Brown. According to this survey, the components and the layout of the park at that date corresponded closely to the original design (1705-16) published in `Vitruvius Britannicus III' (1725), pls. 72-73: the Grand Bridge, the kitchen garden, the tree-lined rides, the Grand Avenue, and the park plantations appear pretty much as their designers intended. However, DR1985:0416 also indicates that the military or state garden at the rear of the palace, with its great parterre and bastioned walls, was already more than half destroyed, and that a lake and a canal system comprised of three arms then existed at the front and to the south-east side of the palace. These important features, the histories of which are poorly documented, were entirely suppressed in the course of Brown's alterations.
