Cuckfield Park, kitchen garden

Introduction

The current state of the kitchen garden is unknown. It was not shown on a map of 1809, and is therefore likely to date from the Victorian period.

A listing of plantings in the kitchen garden in 1924 gives a good picture of the contents. How much of thjis survives is unclear.
