More about this scene
We are in the extreme southern tip of the county: whilst Stanford Hall is in Leicestershire, the parish church and the village are in Northamptonshire. Pevsner rightly refers to the house (extreme left) as the finest of its date in the county, designed by William Smith of Warwick in 1697 for Sir Roger Cave. His brother, Francis Smith, designed the stable block (centre left) in 1737. Although they formed a prolific design partnership, William was trained as a bricklayer, and his brother as a stonemason. Among their other achievements were Cholmondeley Hall, Stoneleigh Abbey and Sutton Scarsdale.
