Humphry Repton in Norfolk - Sally Bate

Sheringham Park is acknowledged as one of Repton’s finest achievements. He would never have seen the full glory of waves of mature plants coming into bloom against a backdrop of sea, forest and heath, but he pictured it for his clients.

In the book, Humphry Repton in Norfolk, all his Norfolk Red Book images are published together for the first time.

Sally Bate, who helped edit the book, said it was a Norfolk project through and through, researched, written and published by Norfolk volunteers and printed in Aylsham to celebrate the achievements of the man who worked throughout the country and is buried, appropriately, in a garden, beside Aylsham church.
