The latest in Timothy Mowl's hugely popular series takes on the county of Northamptonshire, one which he describes as something of an oddity. It has notably fewer rivers than many counties, meaning a lack of moats as garden features, and has no great monastic holdings, but does have a preponderance of deer parks. In outlining the history and development of the county's gardens, Mowl reveals a host of little known gems, such as Inigo Jones' renaissance influenced work at Stoke Park, or the marvellously eccentric menagerie at Horton.
