More about this scene

The Manor House, built in the late 17th century, was the home of Lancelot 'Capability' Brown, the great landscape gardener. He was lord of the manor of Fenstanton, and his monument is in the church. The house has shaped parapet gables - we can just see them beside the chimney stack. Beyond the green there is a row of post-enclosure brick cottages.
