Humphry Repton

Description: A collection of approximately 250 items from 1746 to 1818, it consists of letters, documents, and ephemera which either directly or indirectly involve Humphry Repton. The papers mainly concern family, personal and legal matters rather than deal primarily with Repton's professional career as a landscape gardener. The collection includes legal correspondence of one of Repton's sons, William Repton, and family documents related to Dorothy Repton Adey, such as wills, marriage, and home settlements. There is also a family pedigree for the Paston family, a family with noble ties dating back to the 16th century, but the document lacks any distinguishing purpose in relation to the Reptons.
