Brief Description
Pennsylvania Park is on the brow of the hill to the north of the city and is described by Pevsner as 'the piece de resistance of Regency Exeter.' The pleasure grounds were laid out in 1821 and are still maintained by the residents association. There is a large Cedar in the gardens and at the rear of numbers 3 and 4.
History
Pennsylvania Park was built in 1821 and apparently designed by John Brown for Joseph Sparkes, a Quaker banker. The pleasure grounds were laid out at the same time.
