Landscape record 0641700000 - The Rectory House

Sheahan descibes the gardens as '..7 acres of land, tastefully laid out grounds containing several elm and other forest trees.' The first edition 6" OS map shows apparent landscaping, however, recent AP's show just lawn and trees (B1).
Along the southern part of the east boundary of the Manor is a recently constructed high brick wall probably positioned as a windbreak to shelter the garden area to the west. Within the wall is an attractive summerhouse. There are some fine mature trees within the grounds of Ellesborough Manor including an impressive Cedar in front of the house. On either side of the driveway to the Manor are examples of topiary where trees have been clipped into geometric shapes and there are some fine clipped Yew and Box hedges in the formal gardens. Between the hedges to the south-west of the Manor was the kitchen garden, perhaps concealed behing the evergreen hedges (B2).
