Introduction
There have been gardens at Lutwyche Hall, a brick mansion of 1587, since at least the 18th century. This phase of the garden is hinted at by the ruins of an 18th-century temple which stood close to the south-western approach to the Hall. By the end of the 19th century, there were terraces to the east and south of the house.
