So, The Banqueting House at Studley Royal, in N Yorkshire, that remarkable water garden that also includes the ruined Fountains Abbey with its purlieus. I have been to the Abbey, as a teenager, but not the garden. The Banqueting House is thought to be a design by Colen Campbell, built by the mason Thomas Buck between 1728 and 1732. Rather Baroque, all things considered. Mixed media, 56 x 36 cms on 300gsm watercolour paper.
