Maiden Erlegh (Berkshire)
In Burt's will, he mandated the completion of landscaping at Maiden Erlegh under the direction of 'Mr Q. Richmond of Paddington.' Earlier, Capability Brown had visited and a preliminary survey had been undertaken by Brown's man Griffin. The estate was sold to Edward Golding, in whose ownership Repton appears to have made further plans.
