Project Name - Moggerhanger Park,
Location - Moggerhanger

Client - Moggerhanger House Preservation Trust
Scope of work -

Moggerhanger Park was inherited by Godfrey Thornton in the late 1780s. He soon began a programme of improvements to the house, gardens and park, employing two of the most significant contemporary figures in architecture and landscape gardening: John Soane and Humphry Repton. Soane undertook improvements and significant extensions to the existing house, along with a number of other developments throughout the estate. Repton made a number of recommendations for enhancing the approaches, park and pleasure ground in one of his famous red books. Many of Repton's proposals appear to have been implemented, and the legacy of the distinct character he established still shapes the setting of the house today. The house was subsequently used as a hospital, with its origins as a tuberculosis sanatorium between the wars.

The house and park are currently owned and managed by the Moggerhanger House Preservation Trust. The house has recently been restored by architects Peter Inskip & Peter Jenkins. HTLA was appointed in early 2008 to join the team as landscape designers to develop designs for the second stage of an application for a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
