In 1906, Violet was instrumental in revising Elizabeth’s Italian hillside setting of the early 1800’s,
by creating a Rose Garden on the Top Terrace in the Italian School aesthetic which was at the height
of fashion at that time. Violet also restructured the Statue Garden and Lower Garden, thereby creating
a grass walk to the Wild Wood (now the Spring and Japanese Gardens.)
The Ornamental Lily Pond was added to the Statue Garden by Emma, the present Duchess of Rutland
during a restoration programme in early 2012.
