Proposals by Humphry Repton for a Hill Plantation at Wentworth, Yorkshire

Humphry Repton's proposal for hill plantation at Wentworth in South Yorkshire from his book, 'Observations on the Theory and Practice of Landscape Gardening', published in 1803. Taken from his Wentworth Red Book, Repton writes '...when the young trees shall have thrown a mantle over this extensive knowl, all the distant parts will assume one general harmony, and the scattered masses of this splendid scenery will be connected and brought together into one vast and magnificent whole.'
