Rear elevation view of the formal gardens behind the Palace, as observed from a pleached hornbeam arbor, 1935. Three female costumed interpreters (once referred to as "hostesses") are visible, dressed in gowns and holding flowers. These gardens, designed by Arthur Shurcliff, include boxwood parterres and one dozen large cylindrical shrubs known as the Twelve Apostles, a feature often appearing in eighteenth-century English gardens.
