Abstract
William Kent remodelled the house and garden at Rousham around 1740. Since completion the garden has escaped substantial alteration and has been lovingly tended by the Cottrell-Dormer family, whose ancestor GeneralJames Dormer commissioned the work in 1738, together with improvements to the house and some new outbuildings.
