Stately trees were essential for Lancelot 'Capability' Brown's signature style, and he often chose the cedar of Lebanon for its distinctive layered branches and silhouette, like at Croome Park.

New blog post! I finally wrote about my trip to the Beatles’ Childhood Homes. No scones but we got Hey Jude so we’ll let them off. So many great stories from the excellent tour guides - I highly recommend a (pre-booked) visit: nationaltrustscones.com/2022…

@EnglishHeritage @nationaltrust @NTCroome Croome court looking stunning in the winter sun. Have to love the beautiful bridge recreated from 1740s plans to match what rotted away. Have to say what a fine job 👏#twitterphotography #scenicengland

On Christmas Eve the Earls of Coventry used to give beef and bread to their tenants at @NTCroome. We have photos and details of this annual event within the estate archive which we hold.

The Chinese Bridge at Croome, Worcestershire creates a striking silhouette as it links the house to its wider parkland.
Originally designed by William Halfpenny in the 1740s, this re-creation dates to 2015.
ALT An arched wooden footbridge crosses a pool of water. The image of the bridge and nearby trees are reflected on the mirror-like surface of the water.

1751 #CapabilityBrown commissioned by 6th Earl of Coventry @NTCroome working there for 20 years & developing a close relationship with the earl. Estate was marshy & had to be drained before he could start work. Old church was demolished & new one built on more prominent site.
