Surbiton and District Historical Society AGM followed by a talk on the history of Painshill Park

Painshill Landscape Park was created in the 18th century by the Hon Charles Hamilton, as a living and growing work of art. Hamilton was considered to be an expert plantsman and a man of great taste in landscape design. It was a marvel in its day and much admired by its many visitors. Work on rebuilding and restoring the park began in the 1980s and continues to this day.
