Talk:Beckenham Place Park

Linnaeus
Removed commentary added to body of article:


 * "The evidence for a visit by Linnaeus is slim, he is only recorded as visiting England in 1735, long before Cator's birth and time at Beckenham Place. Although Linnaeus corresponded with Peter Collinson or Collinson wrote to Linnaeus regularly about botonay etc. there is no firm evidence (perhaps yet to be found) that Linnaeus or indeed, Collinson, had direct input into the landscape design of Beckenham Place Park. However, Collinson's daughter Mary, John Cator's wife, would presumably have been influenced by her fathers experience with his gardens at Peckham and Mill Hill as well as his interest in collecting and introducing plants to Britain. Collinson's letters recorded in 'Forget Thee Not My Garden' are interesting and insightful. Investigation of the life spans of Linnaeus, Collinson and Cator and the acquisition of Beckenham Place at least suggest that the meeting and involvement was unlikely if not impossible."
