Thomas White Redesigning the northern British landscape
By Deborah Turnbull and Louise Wickham (Yorkshire Gardens Trust) Aims to restore the reputation of Thomas White and his role in the evolution of English designed landscapes in the 18th century. This volume aims to restore the reputation of Thomas White, who in his time was as well respected as his fellow landscape designers Lancelot 'Capability' Brown and Humphry Repton. It focuses on White's known commissions in England and sheds further light on the work of other designers such as Brown and Repton, who worked on many of the same sites. This book makes available for the first time over 90% of the known plans and surveys by White for England. Also included are plans by White's contemporaries, together with later maps, estate surveys and contemporary illustrations to understand which parts of improvement plans were implemented.
