Badminton, Masterplan for the Cottage Garden RP/1/1/2/22 (2 of 15)

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.
