Who knows of Capability Brown?

OK then, what is his biological legacy? What has become of his progeny? None have continued his work? Of all natural hereditary lineages, those that are useful/practical, this one dies out? :eek:

Am I being whooshed? Wasn’t Capability Brown a pioneering landscape architect for the wealthy English of the 1700’s?

He used to solve mysteries for neighborhood kids.

And of equal importance, what about Bloody Stupid Johnson?

(I feel whooshed too, I must admit)

The Wikipedia biography mentions that Brown had a daughter, so it’s possible that there are descendants of his alive today somewhere.

Depends whether his daughter and son-in-law, architect Henry Holland, had issue or not.

He invented the “ha ha” that is now usurped by that kid on the Simpsons.

According to this site there was a grandson - one Lancelot Holland (1781-1859) who had married. ‘Course the site’s entry is speculation only, and who th’ heck’s heard of Lancelot Holland?

Whereas Bloody Stupid Johnson invented the “Ho-ho,” which is like a “Ha-ha” only deeper.

Was she lovely?
