John Bartram's Potting Shed at Painshill
The house at Painshill was built in 1778 and is situated on a hill. The fame of Painshill is in its grounds, laid out by the Hon. Charles Hamilton, son of the Earl of Abercorn, between 1738 and 1773. He was very thorough in his improvements as he not only built a hermitage, which has now gone, but installed a hermit to go with it. Unsurprisingly, Hamilton went bankrupt as a result of his extravagance. The gardens are now slowly being restored but were in a state of disrepair for many years. Ian Nairn writing for 'The Buildings of England: Surrey' in 1962 said "Now they are sadly neglected, and many of the ornamental structures are going or gone."
See https://www.painshill.co.uk/ and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Painshill for more information.
John Bartram lived on the outskirts of Philadelphia in the 18th century. He would clean and pack seeds he had collected from the Eastern seaboard of North America, parcel them up in wooden boxes and send them to his clients in England, including Charles Hamilton. At the height of his trade he would be preparing for despatch anything up to thirty boxes at one time.
This reconstruction is in the Walled Garden. See https://www.telegraph.co.uk/gardening/6133131/Philadelphia-story.html for more information about John Bartram.
