Wivenhoe Park

Wivenhoe Park is a landscaped green space of more than 200 acres (81 ha) at the eastern edge of Colchester, England.

[8] John Gurdon Rebow rebuilt Wivenhoe House and remodelled the park.

In April 1856, Prince Albert visited Colchester to inspect the new barracks and travelled out to see some of the troops on exercise in Wivenhoe Park, presumably at the invitation of John Gurdon Rebow.

A report of the royal visit to Wivenhoe Park, including an engraving, was published by the London Illustrated News.

The painting depicts the parkland surrounding Wivenhoe House including cows grazing, swans on the lake and fishermen bringing in their nets.
