The 19th. Century (1x3)

Date de diffusion: Nov 23, 2010

Alan visits Biddulph Grange in Staffordshire, a 19th-century country park that contains elements of Chinese, Italian, Egyptian and Scottish design. He explains why the Victorian age gave rise to a taste for exotic plants and bold horticultural statements, and reveals how the natural landscape gardens of the 18th century gave way to a new manufactured style that came to symbolise the era's reverence for knowledge and power.
