Petworth House, a magnificent country house with its 328ft/100m-long garden frontage, gained its present appearance between 1688 and 1696. The extensive garden, designed by Capability Brown, is a masterpiece of English landscape gardening. Among the treasures of the house is one of England's most important collections of paintings. William Turner had a studio here from 1830 to 1837; he loved the local scenery and often painted it.
