More about this scene
You could be forgiven for thinking Stoke Park looks vaguely like Washington's White House, for there is an American connection. John Penn, who built the mansion in 1789 upon his return from America, was the grandson of William Penn, who had founded the State of Pennsylvania in 1683. Set in parkland by 'Capability' Brown and Humphrey Repton, and now a golf course, the stucco mansion by Nasmith was much improved and enlarged in the 1790s by James Wyatt, who also added the dome.
