Batty Langley (1696-1751)

Batty Langley (Twickenham, Middlesex, baptised 14 September 1696 – London 1751) was an English garden designer, and prolific writer who produced a number of engraved designs for "Gothick" structures, summerhouses and garden seats in the years before the mid-18th century.

An eccentric landscape designer, he gave some of his numerous children names like Hiram, Euclid, Vitruvius and Archimedes, and attempted to "improve" Gothic forms by giving them classical proportions.
