Abstract/Summary

A desk-based assessment was carried out to determine the history and development of the walled kitchen garden at Rockingham Castle. A building assessment recorded the remains of the southern enclosure of the garden and dated the structure to the second half of the nineteenth-century. The remains of a later glasshouse were also included, though no significant remains were encountered. The trial excavation revealed evidence of garden paths dating to the late nineteenth-century, but no earlier activity.
