In this well-researched account of the Coventry family since Sir Thomas, an Elizabethan lawyer, bought Croome in the 16th century, Dr. Gordon charts their rise to Baron Coventry then, by 1697, Earl of Coventry. The author describes the transformation of Croome by the 6th Earl, who employed âe~Capabilityâe(tm) Brown and Robert Adam to create a country seat of elegance and beauty, now being restored by the National Trust. Widely acknowledged for its significance in the evolution of landscape design, Croome Park is the most important legacy of this celebrated family. Published in association with The National Trust.

Croome was the Worcestershire seat of the Earls of Coventry. During the eighteenth century it was remodelled by the 6th Earl, one of the most remarkable patrons and collectors of his generation. Croome's role in launching the careers of Lancelot 'Capability' Brown and Robert Adam is now widely acknowledged. This new study examines Lord Coventry's role in this remarkable collaborative enterprise. His obsessive personality, charismatic leadership and aesthetic ambition drove the project forward for over 50 years in the relentless pursuit of perfection. The seventeenth-century brick house was transformed to become the centrepiece of the designed landscape, and a fashionable and elegant setting for his important collections, with a flair and originality that resonated throughout the cultural life of Georgian Britain. A perfect souvenir for visitors to Croome, and a fascinating read for all those interested in the art, landscaping and architecture of Georgian Britain.

Croome is a place of incredible innovation, devastating loss, remarkable survival and magnificent restoration. Outside is the grandest of English eighteenth-century landscapes, Capability Browns masterful first commission, while at the heart of the park lies Croome Court, once home to the Earls of Coventry. Croome Court was Browns first major architectural project as well as Robert Adams first important commission. This guidebook explores some of the many surprising stories of Croome, from the trend-setting design demanded by the 6th Earl, and his belief in championing young talent, to the part it played in the Second World War as a secret airbase. Featuring stunning new photography and evocative archive images, this guidebook not only looks back at Croomes fascinating past, but also reveals how, after decades of separation, the Palladian mansion and its designed landscape have been brought back together again, as Capability Brown, Robert Adam and the 6th Earl originally intended.
