Buckinghamshire Gardens Trust will be attending the Heritage Open Day at Taplow Court, Maidenhead on Sunday 10 September 2023 from 2-5pm when the gardens and house will be open to the public, courtesy of the owners SGI.
The Trust will have a display about Marnock’s work at a cluster of three sites (Taplow Court, Hitcham House and Berry Hill) in the south of the historic county. The Grade II registered garden at Taplow Court is thought to have been one of Marnock’s principal works during the 1860s and 70s.
