  • PARK (first mentioned 1792, 18th Century to 21st Century - 1700 AD? to 2099 AD)
  • GARDEN (18th Century to 21st Century - 1792 AD to 2099 AD)

Description

15th century house with gardens added in 1792 by Joseph Foskett. More planting occurred in 1819 by Priestly. More recently it was taken over by the army for a broadcasting station. Modern maps and APs show a few extra buildings added here and there but all in all it's pretty much still intact. Most of former parkland is now arable farmland (B6).
