Treasure Maps of Wrest Park:  Hunting for Henry Duke of Kent’s garden

Woolmer Green Hall

Henry Duke of Kent started developing the gardens at Wrest Park after he inherited in 1702 and continued almost to his death in 1740. Many features of Henry’s gardens still survive but some have disappeared over the years.
