Three hundred years after the first publication of Stephen Switzer's writings; this book offers a timely critical examination of lessons learned and examines Switzer's roles in major influential early works at Castle Howard and Blenheim, and later the more minor works such as Spy Park, Leeswood or Rhual, the relationships between these designs and his writings is demonstrated. It makes possible major reassessment of the developments, and thus our attitudes to well-known works. It provides an explanation of how he, and his colleagues and contemporaries first made what he had called Ichnographia Rustica.
