More about this scene
Enclosed from Enfield Chase in 1777, and acquired by royal physician Sir Richard Jebb, Trent Park covered some two hundred acres. The present red-brick house supersedes the much smaller original one designed for Jebb by Sir William Chambers; although it is large, with re-used features salvaged from other demolished London buildings, it is not exciting. Now the campus of Middlesex University, the whole has taken on a care-worn air, which even extends to the early 18th-century garden statues by John van Nost, which were brought to the house by Sir Philip Sassoon from Stowe in Buckinghamshire. The statues are included in the English Heritage Register of Buildings at Risk in London.
