Description
Round Coppice was an 18th century shooting box shown on Jeffrey's map of 1776. Surrounded by the coppice with radiating allées leading to the edge of the wood. It was converted in 1728 into a residence and the owner brought surrounding common land to form a deer park. Enlarged park is shown on map of 1786. The house was demolished in 1954 and a new house was put up. This has formal gardens and parkland, the gardens seem to have fallen into disrepair but the park seems intact (B1).
