Summary
Plan of Brockhampton Estate, framed and glazed. This map illustrates the improvements that were the vision of Bartholomew Barneby. He wanted to create a parkland that was suitably grand to go alongside his new mansion, Brockhampton House, that the family moved into in 1764. The text accompanying the map reads: "A plan of the intended improvements at Brockhampton seat of Bartholomew Richard Barneby Esq. by Thomas Leggett 1760" There is also a key to help the owner identify different plots and features on the map.
