Introduction

This is an ancient site, where several phases of history are reflected in the layout of the grounds. These include a small park with unusual planting, a rare cob-walled kitchen garden of the early-19th century and interesting formal and informal gardens of the 1980s and 1990s within an early-19th century framework.
