The 'Birdcage', Melbourne Hall Gardens, Derbyshire

Melbourne Hall is a Georgian style country house in Melbourne, Derbyshire, previously owned by William Lamb, 2nd Viscount Melbourne, British Prime Minister from 1835 to 1841.

Melbourne Hall Gardens, with its broad sweeps of lawn, avenues and unexpected vistas is one of the best known formal gardens in the country and is one of the best surviving early 18th century English gardens in the manner of le Notre. It was laid out in the formal style by Rt. Hon Thomas Coke, Vice Chamberlain to Queen Anne, with help from the garden landscape designers George London and Henry Wise.

The gardens are noted for their long yew tunnel; their wrought iron arbour - known as the birdcage - created by Robert Bakewell in 1706-08, and statuary by Jan van Nost, notably the four seasons monument, a gift from Queen Anne.
