Manuscript Notebook with accounts of the improvements to the gardens and park at Cannon Hall by Richard Woods and the house by John Carr of York, 1760-65, with accounts of expenditure amounting to over £5,000, and lists of trees, shrubs and seeds planted. With an account of later work on the house and estate from 1872 to 1912.   Manuscript in ink on paper (no watermark). 8vo. 45 pp. (inc. a few blanks) + 13pp. at the end (Lists of plants and seeds); first few leaves loose and dusty and a little worn in the outer margins. Written in a blank book bound in dark-blue morocco, covers tooled with a gilt roll-tooled border, spine divided by raised bands into six panels with gilt tooling, comb-marbled endleaves, gilt edges (joints, headcaps and edges rubbed, short splits at the foot of the joints corners worn).    [England, South Yorkshire, 1760-65] John Spencer III (1719-75) inherited the Cannon Hall estate at Cawthorne, near Barnsley in South Yorkshire from his father William in 1756. The family had made their fortune in the local iron industry and the late 17th or early 18th-century Hall, set in a park through which the Daking Brook runs, was five bays wide and three bays deep.     Four years later Spencer invited the well-known landscape architect Richard Woods (1715/16-93), then of Chertsey, Surrey, to redesign the gardens and park at Cannon Hall.      Richard Woods arrived on 1 April 1760 and John Spencer recorded the progress of his work in diaries and account books, now in the Spencer Stanhope family archive at Sheffield Archives (the diaries are Sp.St.60633/13-18). From those original diaries and accounts John Spencer extracted the most important entries relating to the improvements to his gardens and park and the house from 1760-65 and transcribed them into the present volume.      Writing of the original diaries Fiona Cowell has noted:    ?John Spencer?s diary provides this commission with a unique aspect, a glimpse from the employer?s side into the process of landscaping a park. Surviving documentation elsewhere is in the form of accounts, or memoranda and letters written by Woods himself, but here Spencer?s own evident enjoyment and delight in the progress of his improvements is clearly expressed in this diary.?   Also exceptional is Spencer?s close personal involvement with the gardens themselves as he devoted days to working alongside Woods, e.g. ?Planted shrubs along with Mr Woods in the shrubery? (24 Oct. 1761) and ?Set out the Piece of Water below the Bridge along with Mr Woods? (21 June 1762). As Cowell noted, when Woods was working in Yorkshire at the same time for members of the Lascelles family at Goldsborough and Harewood he would be ?accompanied, if at all, by a steward?.    Just as Richard Woods?s reputation as a landscape designer lay long-buried beneath the shadow cast by his contemporary Lancelot (?Capability?) Brown so much of his work lay buried by Victorian schemes and re-plantings. However, at the height of his career, which encompassed some 40 known commissions, Woods was a considerable rival to Brown though his work was generally on a more modest scale and his clients, on the whole, less grand. His work featured a greater mastery than Brown's in designing kitchen gardens and intimate pleasure gardens with flower plantings and modest effects with water rather than in manipulating vast swathes of parkland.    Richard Woods's work at Cannon Hall in the first half of the 1760s not only found him at the height of his success but it remains a rare survival in reasonable condition today. Moreover, it is one the best-documented of his commissions.    His long-buried reputation has been uncovered by Fiona Cowell (see Literature) and Richard Woods is now re-established as a landscape designer who was well-respected in his lifetime and has left a lasting impression of the English countryside. Although the material included here is duplicated in the Spencer-Stanhope archive at Sheffield, along with correspondence (including letters from Woods and Spencer?s steward) beside a few extracts quoted by Fiona Cowell (see Literature) it remains unpublished. As distilled here into this single manuscript ?Account of the Improvements? it presents a unique view of a leading English landscape architect and gardener at work in the mid-18th Century from the perspective of his employer. Below are a series of extracts of the principal activities and the expenses for each year from 1760 to 1765. A full transcript of the MS is available.    Below are a series of extracts of the principal activities and the expenses for each year from 1760 to 1765. A full transcript of the MS is available.     1760 - Woods arrived on 1 April 1760 and that is where this Account of the Improvements begins:               1760 April 1 Mr Woods came to Cannonhall to plan the Grounds Gardens Park &c.    Woods stayed to 9 April and spent the time in agreeing plans to build a new ?pinery?, that is a glazed hothouse for growing pineapples, to be built by a local carpenter and bricklayer to be ready in August and in choosing a site for the new Kitchen Garden. It was an expensive hobby and thus brought great social distinction.  In May work on the new Kitchen Garden wall began. Woods returned at the beginning of July:                 July 2d Mr Woods came to Can-hall to proceed upon his plans of Pinery, gardens & Park from the 2d of July to Sep 3d he was at C Hall at different times 32 days.    On 29 August the Pinery was ?reared? [raised] and on 24 September Woods?s foreman Thomas Peach arrived to supervise the planting of the pineapple plants which were sourced from Spencer?s neighbours: William Wentworth, 2nd Earl of Strafford, Wentworth Castle, Stainborough, near Barnsley; Sir William Wentworth, Bretton Hall, near Wakefield; his brother-in-law Walter Stanhope, of Horsforth, Leeds; ? Sir George Beaumont, of Whitley Beaumont, near Huddersfield; John Smyth, of Heath Hall, Wakefield; ?Edward Radcliffe or Radclyffe, of Ba.
