Vanbrugh was responsible for some of Britain’s most dramatic buildings, including Castle Howard, Blenheim Palace and Seaton Delaval Hall. His work at Stowe began when Sir Richard Temple, a fellow member of the influential Kit-Cat Club, commissioned him to transform the house and help shape the gardens.

Through historic illustrations, newly commissioned photographs and original plans, the exhibition written by historian Rory Fraser reveals how Vanbrugh helped turn Stowe into one of the great aristocratic houses of its age.

Visitors can also discover the Vanbrugh-designed features that still survive in the famous Stowe gardens today.
