Brief description of site

Bramham features geometrically laid out pleasure grounds and water gardens which extend into the park and woods. Features include the Broadwalk, Obelisk Pond and cascades.

Brief history of site

Robert Benson laid out the grounds at Bramham from 1698 to 1731, after a grand tour in France and Italy. John Wood the Elder was employed during the period around 1725-8 to map the layout and probably to help with the water features. James Paine was employed in about 1753 to embellish the stable block and to design the principal garden building (probably the Orangery, now the Chapel).
