Repton’s pond at Cobham Hall

Posted on 7th August 2019 by Ruiha Smalley

We’ve been asked by the management at Cobham Hall if we’d like to help rediscover a pond on the grounds. This pond, amongst other features in the garden, was designed by Humphry Repton in the late 1700s. Andrew started the group off yesterday and the work will continue into next week.
