Francis Wheatley Country Scenes, 1795
Details
The lecture will explore the revival of interest in the medieval manor house from the late eighteenth to the early twentieth century. The picturesque cottage became popular as a feature within the landscape garden in the late eighteenth century, developing into the vogue for the cottage orné during the Regency period. In the later nineteenth century antiquarians and Arts and Crafts enthusiasts rescued and lovingly restored medieval manor houses, enraptured by their romance, history and atmosphere.
