Brief description of site
Arbury Hall has an 18th century landscape park with lakes, constructed on the site of a former Augustinian priory. The site covers about 180 hectares, comprising ten hectares of gardens and 170 hectares of parkland and lakes. The gardens in the vicinity of the hall were modified in the 19th and 20th centuries. Features include wisteria, rhododendrons and azaleas, and a rose garden.
Brief history of site
Sir Edmund Anderson, a lawyer and later Lord Chief Justice, bought the site in 1567. He demolished the monastic buildings and constructed a new house around the site of the cloisters. Additions and alterations have since been made, notably around 1750.
