Brief history of site
Before 1800 there was a small country house with formal gardens set in farmland and enclosed by walls. An extensive designed landscape was described by Shiercliff in 1789. Thomas Graeme purchased the site in 1800. He called in Humphry Repton to advise on the laying out of the grounds, though no red book was produced.
