Tudor and early Stuart banqueting houses.
A variety of ornamental buildings are associated with the eighteenth-century English landscape garden, including classical temples, grottoes, rustic seats, and hermitages. Many of these forms were initially introduced into English gardens in the Tudor period, but the most common retreat, the banqueting house, was unique to it. (1) To fully appreciate the Tudor and early Stuart garden, it is necessary to understand why these little "housis of pleasure," as the garden buildings of Henry VII (r. 1498-1509) at Richmond were described in 1501, were so integral to the early English garden.
