Introduction
Stanmoregrove was set within extensive wooded grounds or shrubberies. South-west of the house was a feature called 'The Essex Fall,' beyond which was a star-shaped plantation called the 'Maze.' Beyond the shrubberies was parkland, crossed by a tree-lined drive leading to the south-east. All of the ornamental grounds are now lost, and the woodland is much reduced. There is, however, a former park lodge of 1855 which still survives.
