Introduction
Following the 19th-century demolition of the house, gravel extraction has caused significant disturbance to the southern part of the landscape.There are though significant remains of the northern part of the park landscape, including the pre-Brown walled garden, remains of a neo-classical orangery (which has been badly truncated), ha-has, belt planting and the remains of bridges and cascades. The stables and sections of a service wing of the mansion also still remain, although these are in private ownership and not open.
