EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial print captures the enchanting beauty of Hoo Park, located in Kimpton, near Hitchin, Hertfordshire. Designed by the renowned landscape architect Lancelot Capability Brown in the 18th century, this parkland is a testament to his genius and vision. The remnants of this once grand estate are showcased here, reminding us of its former glory. The focal point of Hoo Park was undoubtedly The Hoo, an exquisite country house that stood proudly at the heart of the landscape. Sadly, it met its demise in 1958 when it was demolished. However, through this photograph by Damian Grady for Historic England, we can still appreciate the grandeur and elegance that once graced these grounds. The Georgian influence on Hoo Park is evident from above as we witness its symmetrical layout and carefully designed features. This listed Grade II site holds immense historical significance and continues to be cherished for its architectural heritage. Damian Grady's expertly captured image allows us to marvel at the vast expanse of lush greenery that stretches out before our eyes. It serves as a reminder not only of nature's enduring beauty but also of mankind's ability to shape landscapes into works of art. As we gaze upon this print from Historic England, let us reflect on the legacy left behind by Lancelot Capability Brown and appreciate how his designs have stood the test of time despite The Hoo's unfortunate fate.
