The Deepdene - a landscape rediscovered
Pippbrook House, Reigate Road, Dorking, Surrey, RH4 1SH
The Deepdene estate has a remarkable story of national significance and its garden can lay claim to being a place where art and nature were shaped by one of the country's great taste-makers, Thomas Hope. Its early demise during the last decades of the 19th Century and the beginning of the 20th Century has been little understood until now. This talk, to coincide with the 10 year anniversary of the opening of The Deepdene Trail, will shed light on this enigmatic estate outlining the rise and fall and subsequent uncovering and reopening to the public in 2016. There will be an opportunity to purchase a copy of the publication: 'The Deepdene: A landscape rediscovered' at the event.
