More about this scene

In the late 18th century, Compton Wynyates was abandoned by its cash-strapped owner, the 8th Earl of Northampton, and narrowly avoided being pulled down. In 1851 the 3rd Marquess of Northampton inherited the property and set about restoring it and remodelling the garden. In 1895 the 5th Marquess laid out the topiary garden we see here.
