From the 1760s onwards, George III was involved in improving the estates he had inherited at Richmond and Kew, which included two farms. However, it wasn’t until 1792 that George III took charge of Richmond and Windsor Great Parks.
During the following decade he took much interest in the inspection and improvements to parkland and farms in Windsor Great Park. This book on the cultivation of three types of grass contains marginal annotations in the king’s own hand.
