Capability Brown at Radley: rediscovering a lost landscape

In 1770 Sir William Stonhouse of Radley Hall paid Capability Brown £672. In 1847, the founders of Radley College chose the site because of the beauty of its landscape but had no idea it was by Capability Brown. In this talk, Clare Sargent, Head of Library and Archives at Radley College, looks at how that information was lost and the attempts to re-construct the landscape since its re-discovery in the 1950s.
