Introduction
Garden features, although heavily overgrown, include the remains of a lily pond, fountain and sunken walks. Remarkable rockwork can also be found, including a cave which appears to have been cut out of solid rock. A summerhouse, built on the side of a hill west of Spode House, is listed grade II. The park is now mostly under a golf course.
