Add picture to favouritesKingston Maurward, Stinsford.
Kingston Maurward House was built in 1720 for George Pitt in the classic Palladian style that so characterised this period.
The contemporary parkland and pleasure gardens were laid out in the style popularised by Capability Brown. Simplicity was the hallmark of the gardens which consisted of rolling turf, carefully placed groups of trees, a lake and a lakeside temple.
