  • PARK (earlier than 1881, 19th Century to Modern - 1800 AD? to 1999 AD)

Description

The house is Georgian in origin but the parkland first appears on the first edition 6" OS map in 1881. Gardens appear by 1932 on the third edition map. Some parkland still remains but mineral extraction has reduced the grounds substantially. No evidence for formal gardens. Recent APs show development encroaching from all sides and the M25 touches the eastern border of the park. Limited historical records. 1:10000 map shows two lakes of unknown origin (B1).
