Talk:Charles Brudenell-Bruce, 1st Marquess of Ailesbury

Incoherent passage. Some text missing?
"Formal avenues were planted leading up to the house, in amongst an extensive Savernake Forest, which surrounded the cluster of aristocratic estates in east Wiltshire. The valley was good grade farmland, where Lord Bruce's client-burgesses of Marlborough had rights to graze.[3] His father erected tall statuary in a garden star design in front a flat parkland landscape. When he inherited in 1814, Charles was determined to re-build and enlarge the house to a design by Thomas Cundy.[4] The Marquess's ancestral "Rooms in the woods" distinguished his High Tory politics"

This passage is not quite coherent. Whether or not there is text missing, it could do with redrafting by an informed editor.


 * "in amongst an extensive Savernake Forest" ?
 * "The valley was good grade farmland" Which valley?
 * "Lord Bruce's client-burgesses of Marlborough" This could be explained.
 * "tall statuary in a garden star design in front a flat parkland landscape." ?
 * "The Marquess's ancestral "Rooms in the woods" distinguished his High Tory politics" ?
