Expandeddescription of actual structure:
The immensely richEarl of Burlington engaged Yorkshire artist, William Kent, to guidethe building of Worcester Lodge.
Under the Earl\'spatronage, Kent\'s talents emerged. Kent was a romantic and an admirerof Sir John Vanbrugh (Castle Howard and Blenhiem Palace). WilliamKent was one of the most versatile of English artists. It was Kent,rather than Robert Adam, who first used the spindly grotesque styleof neo-Pompeian wall and ceiling decoration, and it was Kent, ratherthan Horace Walpole, who first experimented with the Gothic style.
Of hisarchitecture, the most authentic and characteristic example is quitemodest in scale and dates from the early 1740\'s. Worcester Lodge, atBadminton, is a little classical house riding high on an arched,rusticated base. It contains one splendid room--an elevated andelegant dining room, in his finest Roman manner, in which the Duke ofBeaufort would dine with a few friends on summer evenings.
