Badminton, Sketch of Garden RP/1/1/2/22 (15 of 15)

A pencil and coloured pencil design on paper. Undated, there are no annotations identifying to which the part of the garden it relates. The shape of the site, however, suggests that it is a drawing for the new garden Page designed at the Cottage (see RP/1/1/2/13 and RP/1/1/2/14) and might be a preliminary sketch plan.

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.
