Full Description
{1} A late 18th century map shows a rigidly formal garden east of the house, with rectangular ponds and intersecting footpaths, but this may be partly conventionalized as the earthworks, apparently of earlier date, do not agree with the map.
A series of earthworks which must be the 17th-century gardens. These consist of two rectangular sunken basins 1m deep with a raised terrace 1m high on the west and a higher terrace 1m high on the east.
