Abstract: This article examines the development of the landscape of Raynham Hall, Norfolk, England in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, and presents two hitherto unrecognised sketches by William Kent. It argues that Raynham was one of the first places in England where geometric gardens were removed in order to provide a largely open, parkland setting for the mansion. It attributes this innovation to William Kent and suggests that it was associated with Raynham’s status as an early essay in Palladian architecture. Finally, it argues that more scholarly attention should be given to the connections between architectural styles, and modes of lndscape and garden design, in eighteenth-century England.

摘要：本文考察了 17 世纪末和 18 世纪初英格兰诺福克郡 Raynham Hall 的景观发展，并展示了威廉·肯特 (William Kent) 迄今为止未被认识的两幅素描。它认为雷纳姆是英格兰最早拆除几何花园的地方之一，以便为豪宅提供一个基本上开放的公园环境。它将这项创新归功于威廉肯特，并暗示它与雷纳姆作为帕拉第奥式建筑早期论文的地位有关。最后，它认为应该对 18 世纪英国的建筑风格、景观和花园设计模式之间的联系给予更多的学术关注。
