Further details:The Caroline house was enlarged by the Earl of Sheffield for his daughter, who married Sir Henry Clinton, one of the three generals at Waterloo. The 18C façade is set in a tree-lined lawn, flanked by a newly created canal, and over looking parkland. The 1987 storm removed old oaks but these have been replanted in a Repton-style landscape leading to a stone pillar on the hill. The garden it self is approx 6 acres of clay soil and is divided into rooms reflecting English garden design from the 17C to 21C. The Elizabethan herb garden has camomile paths and turf seats, and four knot gardens. The Victorian era is represented by a tall white, yellow and blue herbaceous borders; the pre-Raphaelites by an alley of white roses, clematis, purple vines and lilies; the 20C by an unusual swimming pool garden encircled by an arcade of apples. A 21C garden of clipped hornbeam is under development. A wild flower meadow is reached through an avenue lined with fastigated hornbeams, and a pleached lime avenue leads to the medieval herb garden and potager. An enclosed garden of old English roses, trained high so that you are enveloped by the scent, which surround a water feature by William Pye.
