refugees, as did other northern
countries. These artists and craftsmen
transported continental design ideas,
as well as new plants, across the channel.

adapted the French idea of the vista,
too, but the terrain of England did not
permit infi nite views. Parterres were
also popular, particularly patterns created
solely with grass and gravel.
Representative examples include Hat-
