This series of six caches is linked to the theme of the changing landscapes of Shugborough Estate and the impact people have had on it. From one man's designed paradise to an estate encroached upon by transport links to a place of wildlife, conservation and NT scones, the estate has been changed and developed a great deal throughout the past 300 years.
Hadrian’s Arch is an unmissable feature of Thomas Anson’s (1695-1773) vision for Shugborough’s landscape. The design is a copy of the Arch of Hadrian in Athens, popularised in Britain by James ‘Athenian’ Stuart. Sadly Thomas’s brother, Admiral George Anson died six months after construction on the monument started in 1761, and thereafter the arch became a monument to a beloved brother and sister in-law.
