Ham House Dec 07

I visited Ham House for research into our History and Cultural Studies essay. When I got there it was freezing cold, so cold that it was hard to hold the camera! Anyway it was a really interesting garden split into many different sections... The North Court is the entrance to Ham House which was built in 1610 and is flanked by two walls inset with busts. To the east of the house is the Cherry Garden which is made up of diamond shaped gardens separated by gravel paths. The South Court is split into a terrace, the Plats and a wilderness. To the west is the Fountain garden and Orangery. The main feature of Ham House is the link between the house and garden. They both unite because of the use of symmetry, geometry and the central axis.
