- WOODLAND GARDEN (earlier than 1881, 19th Century - 1800 AD? to 1899 AD)

Description
19th century parkland and woodland garden, now mostly destroyed due to motorway through the park (B1).
A typical mid-C19 Chiltern villa ensemble, with lawns and pleasure grounds, parkland and associated lodge in the form of a cottage orné and main drive set in woodland. The lake in the park and much of the garden and pleasure ground layout and planting established by the early C20 remain. However, they are diminished by the impact of the motorway constructed through the park and other more recent changes. These include the loss of the kitchen gardens, and new developments and car parking along the north‐west boundary. See report for detail (B2).
