Badminton, Garden Arch RP/1/1/2/20

A pencil drawing on tracing paper dated June 1965, marked 'Sketch for a garden arch for David Somerset Esq, scale 1" to 1 foot'. Although the dimensions are included, there is a note by Page that suggests they (or another aspect of the design) might be altered: ‘Note this will have to be redrawn I fear before execution'.

The Badminton Estate, in the Gloucestershire countryside, has been home to the Dukes of Beaufort since the late 17th century. Here, at the Cottage, Page helped to create a series of elegant yet relaxed garden rooms. His work there spanned two decades, and the final designs were among his last.
