In April 1786, Thomas Jefferson, then the first American diplomat in Paris, visited John Adams, who was acting in a similar position in London. They embarked on a tour of English landscape gardens, including Wotton Underwood, Stowe, The Leasows, Hagley Hall and Blenheim. Julian follows their journey, quoting from their diaries and displaying their surviving tavern bills on route.
Julian Hunt is a former librarian and museum curator who has written extensively on Buckinmghamshire and the Midlands and lectures on English market towns and coaching inns.
