Fenstanton

Lancelot 'Capability' Brown (1716-1783) was Lord of the Manor at Fenstanton from 1768, and served for a time as High Sheriff of Huntingdonshire. Born in Northumberland, Brown started his working life as a gardener's boy before moving on to Stowe, where he worked under William Kent. When Kent died, Brown set up as a garden designer and soon became the leading landscape artist in England, known for the natural, unplanned appearance of his designs. His nickname arose from his habit of remarking, when surveying new projects, that the place had 'capabilities'. Brown, his wife and his son are buried in the medieval church. His grave is inscribed with a eulogy by the poet and landscape gardener William Mason. Any visit here should also take in the 17th-century manor house and the red-brick Clock Tower.
