The lake and the Burton Park landscape were designed by Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown in 1758. The challenge was to restore the lakes to their historic depth and surface area by re-building the Chingford dam structure and desilting Trout Pond. Peter Gillbe, from Petworth Management Company Limited, received a judges’ commendation.
