The Menagerie TA 183 366
|
In 1757, William Constable consulted Thomas Knowlton who proposed a menagerie should be built. Knowlton submitted plans for designing a menagerie but they may have been for an animal enclosure rather than a building. The pavilion was probably designed by Timothy Lightoller who collaborated with Knowlton in designing the kitchen garden.
The Menagerie is now a dwelling. Date taken: 19/08/2013 |
