Description

19th century house with parkland, formal gardens and ponds shown on 1883 1st edition 6-inch OS map. Modern APs don't show anything due to tree cover. Current 1:10000 map shows the house itself is still there but it has been turned into a school. Very small bit of parkland left but the rest is covered by a housing estate. Tiny area of formal gardens left. Very damaged by development (B1).
