The grounds were laid out by Capability Brown and his plans of 1751 are kept in the house. The Hall, built in 1693, is in the Italian Renaissance style, with interior design by Joseph Bonom The Church of Great Packington, also in Packington Park, was built in 1789 for the Earl of Aylesford and their great house - apparently to offer thanks for the temporary return of George III's sanity. The organ of 1750 was built to Handels design and may have been played by the great composer himself. |
