 Description of Garden
Designer: 'Capability' Brown
 History of Garden
Robert Hooke designed Ragley Hall in 1680. For some reason the family continued for many years to live in "the Old Hall", so the house was not fully furnished and decorated until the middle of the 18th Century. James Gibbs designed the baroque plaster decoration in the Great Hall in 1750, and in 1780 Wyatt added on the portico and re-decorated the Red Saloon and our two Mauve Rooms, which have remained the same ever since.
