Badminton Paths and Trellis RP/1/1/2/12

A pencil and ink design on tracing paper dated June 1965 (scale 10ft = 1 inch). It shows a plan for the kitchen garden (referred to as a potager on the drawing) with details about the location and width of pathways, recommendations for hedges and fruit trees, and the location of a trellis arbour (see RP/1/1/2/15).

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.
