Corsham Court, Wiltshire
Church St, Wiltshire, Corsham SN13 0BZ
Corsham Court is set in a mid 18th Century park improved by Lancelot Brown circa 1760 and Humphry Repton circa 1800. Work on the present house began in 1582, in 1749 the north front of the house was refaced in a classical manner. Lancelot Brown was comissioned to create a small lake from the existing ponds to the east of the house, a ha-ha was built around the pleasure ground, and a series of walks and rides were created around the park. Repton's work mainly included the laying out of a new approach drive, the removal of Brown's lake in order to create a larger one further from the house, and a programme of clearing, felling, and planting. Corsham Court remains in private ownership. Disabled Access
