Brief description of site
Rous Lench Court is a 16th-century house with an extensive late 19th-century topiary garden. There is a 19th-century landscape park, within which there is an arboretum. The moat of an earlier house stands in the park.
Brief history of site
The earliest parts of the house are early-15th century, with many later additions. The present garden layout appears to date from the ownership of the Reverend Chafy after 1875. In 1993 Rous Lench Court and most of the park was acquired by Mr Peter White, an architect, under whom the house and gardens were restored.
