Introduction
Stouthall was designed by William Jernegan and has an unremarkable small park and wooded pleasure grounds. However, there is an unusual sunken area of exposed stone, incorporated into the grounds with paths and planting. It included a natural cave that was ornamented as a garden feature. The grounds also contain an unusually well-preserved ice house and a walled kitchen garden.
