	Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew: History and Heritage: Timeline: 1700 to 1772: Charles Bridgeman at Richmond
		Having begun work at Richmond Gardens in the early 1720s Charles Bridgeman was appointed one of HM's Principle Gardeners in 1726, and Royal Gardener in 1728.
		Bridgeman favoured elms in his designs, and the Amphitheatre was entirely constructed using this species.
		Bridgeman's design palette can be divided into three groups of features: the formal (parterres, kitchen gardens, avenues and rectilinear, octagonal or round lakes and ponds), traditional (mounts, amphitheatres, statues, garden buildings and irregular cabinets) and progressive (ha-has, rides and walks to emphasise particular vantage spots).

		The extent of Bridgeman’s involvement at Blenheim is uncertain.
		Sarah Bridgeman found herself impoverished and it is ironic that much of what we now know of Bridgeman’s methods of working comes from details in his widow’s innumerable law-suits as she struggled strenuously, until her own death five years later, to obtain the money supposedly owed to her husband.

		Willis credits Bridgeman as the "unsung pioneer in the establishment of le jardin anglais, that remarkable English invention which was to sweep eighteenth-century Europe."

		The artist has been reproached for putting here into the hand of that famous beautifier of gardens and the first to banish from them the cold symmetry of the Dutch, a plan which bears witness to exactly the contrary.
		Incidentally this excellent man is also said to have been the first to banish the topiary treatment of trees and hedges and to have invented the so-called Ha-ha's (207).

		From the scroll on the floor and the roll under the poet's arm we learn that the Rake's name is "T. Rakewell." The scene is his morning levee (his nightcap is still on his head); he has become a man of the town, surrounded by rapacious hangers-on (already hinted at in the thieving steward).
		Bridgeman’s landscape gardening, and maintains one poet, if not two.
		This quiet combination of the British athlete and the French fencing master is certainly one of the happiest: the British firm, enduring oak opposite the trembling French aspen, the cudgel of Hercules beside the rapier, and the lion beside the crowing cock.

		Charles Bridgeman (died 1738) was the main landscape architect of this transitional period from formal gardening to informal landscape design.
		He worked at Stowe from 1715 to 1726, collaborating with the architect Sir John Vanbrugh (1664–1726), close friend of the owner Richard Temple, first viscount Cobham.
		Proud of his work, in 1733 Bridgeman asked Rigaud to come to England to create a detailed record of the estate, the widespread publication of which instantly made Stowe into England's most influential landscape garden.

		We do know from drawings and descriptions that it perfectly embodied the landscaping principles espoused in "Epistle to Burlington." To Pope, landscape gardening was an act of the imagination expressing his inner "romantic" impulses.
		Bridgeman had introduced a garden design based on a relatively formal straight central axis with flanking areas treated irregularly, so that symmetry and balance are combined with variety.
		When the doors of the Grotto were closed, it became a camera obscura reflecting thousands of images from the sparkling shells and bits of mirror in the Grotto walls, a truly remarkable and "poetic" folly of the fancy.
