159: Have you visited the Horsham Museum?

On January 14, 2016

I pass urgently to my readers the cheering news that Mr Knight, curator of the Horsham Museum (note 131) and forever ahead of the crowd, will shortly be opening the doors to his exhibition of ‘Captain’ Capability Brown, and the great landscape gardener’s plan for Hills Park, Horsham will be on display.

The treasure of Horsham: see the easy flow of the woodland belt

Dr G has been written from York to ask where good plans by the great Capability Brown are to be found, and where they will be on view during the tercentenary year.

Hullo all, they call me Oofy, Oofy Price actually. Well the Tatler’s Waste-bin was a wash-out. Just not licking the lolly. So me and the chaps have taken over and we’re starting a paper. ‘The Repton Gazette’. Same rules as for the last lot (questions numbered and logged on receipt, responses whenever we get round to it, everyone anonymous unless requested otherwise). Thought it would be jolly to start numbering with 1818 (year Repton died) and rock up to the present, 200 FAQs later. Ta-ta. Oofy
