- Humphry Repton in Buckinghamshire and beyond
The year 2018 marked two hundred years since the death of one our greatest landscape designers, Humphry Repton. This milestone prompted
Bucks Gardens Trust to research this enigmatic but prolific designer to work out just what he did for us in the historic county.
This book comprises seven essays examining his work in Buckinghamshire and his links further afield, as far as Germany. These are informed
and supported by a detailed gazetteer based on the research by our volunteers, with analysis for the 15 sites which have previously been associated with Repton
in Buckinghamshire – including Milton Keynes and Slough.
It is illustrated with many of Repton's own images, including those from his unique Red Books, many of which have never been published before.
