Most gardeners would use a lawn mower. But the man in the patched trousers is a cut above
Most gardeners would use a lawn mower. But the man in the patched trousers is a cut above that, He prefers to Hoover the grass. Weekend mowers of suburban lawns, tempted to call out Hey mate, youOve got it wrong" should hesitate. That is no way to address Henry Frederick Thynne, sixth Marquess of Bath, Viscount Weymouth, Baron Thynne and ninth Baronet. Nor is that ordinary grass. Thousands of feet trampling over his LordshipOs stately lawns at Longleat in Wiltshire, Left bare Patches. The Marquess replaced it with artificial grass. No more mowing. Just a quick sweep of the vacuum cleaner each day and the carpet of green looks as fresh as a daisy. September 1972 P003702

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a unique approach to gardening that sets the man in patched trousers apart from most gardeners. While others would opt for the traditional lawn mower, this man is a cut above that - he prefers to Hoover the grass! Before jumping to conclusions and calling out his unconventional method, it's important to recognize who we are dealing with here. Meet Henry Frederick Thynne, sixth Marquess of Bath, Viscount Weymouth, Baron Thynne and ninth Baronet. Addressing him as anything less than his distinguished titles would be a grave mistake. And let's not forget that this is no ordinary grass beneath his feet. Thousands of feet trampling over Lord Bath's stately lawns at Longleat in Wiltshire have left bare patches. In response, His Lordship made an audacious decision - replacing natural grass with artificial turf. No more tedious mowing required; just a quick sweep of the vacuum cleaner each day keeps the carpet of green looking as fresh as a daisy. This September 1972 snapshot captures both humor and eccentricity within its frame. It serves as a reminder that even those belonging to high society can embrace unusual methods when it comes to their personal domains. So next time you come across someone hoovering their lawn instead of mowing it, think twice before questioning their choice - they might just be following in the footsteps of Lord Bath himself.
