TQ4857 : The Maze, Chevening

taken 15 years ago, near to Chevening, Kent, England

The Maze, Chevening
The Maze, Chevening
Designed in 1820 by Philip Stanhope, the Fourth Earl of Stanhope, whose seat was here at Chevening. The Earl was a mathematician, and was the first maze designer to realise that by including islands in his designs, those who used the "hand on wall" approach to solving a maze could be confounded. His maze here at Chevening is an example of this "insoluble" design.
