Oxon Hoath, Hadlow, Tonbridge, England

This site is NOT open to public.

Brief description of site

Oxon Hoath has a formal parterre laid out in the 1840s by William Nesfield. The house is set in 18th-century parkland. Part of the site currently (2008) functions as a venue for a variety of group events.

Brief history of site

By 1621, there was a house on the site with a grand gateway. By 1719, an illustration shows a multi-gabled house standing in a formal setting approached via a double avenue to the south. The house and grounds were again remodelled at the end of the 18th century. In about 1846 Sir William R P Geary brought in Anthony Salvin to restyle the house in the French fashion, and William Andrews Nesfield to lay out a formal garden.
