LINDRICK WITH STUDLEY ROYAL AND FOUNTAINS STUDLEY PARK Ford over River Skell approximately 150 metres south-east of the outlet from the Lake
GV II
Ford. c1740 for John Aislabie. Gritstone. Approximately 3 metres wide; large setts flanked by curbs. One of 6 fords across the river between the Lake and Chinese Wood, carrying a carriage drive associated with the rustic bridges (qv) in the Seven Bridges Walk. This part of John Aislabies garden scheme contrasts with the formal ponds and temples upstream, and is contemporary with the serpentine streams running through woods which were taken from Chinese and Roman patterns by William Kent and others. A further example of the way in which Aislabie put new theories into practise very early at Studley Royal. J Summerson, Architecture in Britain 1530-1830, 1977, p 346.
