Liscombe Park is the setting for a country house and its park, gardens and pleasure grounds which were laid out in the mid‐C17 and altered in the late C18 and again in the C20 and C21. The C18 and C19 framework is largely intact, particularly the boundaries, entrances and drives and the current (2021) owners are carrying out restoration work to the gardens and parkland. See report for detail (B19).
