MHS AGM is at 7.00 pm followed at 7.30 pm by Ramsbury Manor – An Appreciation

TALK: Ramsbury Manor is one of Wiltshire’s greatest but least-known houses. Designed in the 17th century Caroline style by polymath genius Robert Hooke, its grounds were landscaped in the style of Capability Brown during the 18th century and it has remained largely unchanged since 1800. In this talk, we will explore the architectural and social history of Ramsbury Manor which has been described by the eminent architectural historian Marcus Binney as “the most covetable of all English country houses and the one that many consider the most perfect in all England.”
SPEAKER: John Benson
